Chrome Extension for Formatting Owlbot PRs

This PR allows us to do the following things to an owlbot (automated) PR message:

1. Removes the "Updates from OwlBot" and "Co-authored-by Owl Bot" footers
2. Deletes the extra whitespace between each line
   • Newlines still exist between PiperOrigin-RevId blocks
3. Removes the component name and square brackets from the commit title
   • This returns the title of the PR to the original piper commit message
   • The component name is only important in the PR title, to help differentiate PRs during review.
4. Removes the conventional commit in the commit title from the commit body
   • This ensures it's not duplicated by release-please
   • Usually this line is prefixed by an asterisk

Here is a demo video of the extension being used!
