[chore] Replace npx with pnpx across the codebase (#5329)

## Summary
- Migrated all `npx` commands to `pnpx` to align with the pnpm ecosystem
- Updated all occurrences across the codebase for consistency

## Changes
- **Package.json scripts**: Updated test:browser, preinstall, and
collect-i18n scripts
- **GitHub Actions workflows**: Updated all workflow files that use npx
(test-ui, i18n, update-manager-types, etc.)
- **Documentation**: Updated browser_tests/README.md and
docs/extensions/development.md
- **Husky pre-commit hook**: Updated lint-staged and tsx commands
- **MCP configuration**: Updated .mcp.json to use pnpx

## Test Plan
- [ ] CI tests pass
- [ ] Local development commands work with pnpx
- [ ] GitHub Actions workflows execute successfully
