Closes #217, #889

As @sheck points out in #889, Firefox Developer Edition is not properly supported on MacOS. This PR adds support for detecting these browsers for Policy File installation.

Firefox nightly uses a version (e.g. 97.0a1) which breaks semantic versioning. This means we can't compare the version and check if policies were supported. For now, I've shimmed a workaround in ab32b9c to change this to 97.0.0-unknown. I can't think of any adverse side-effects except that if we're to test nightly versions for a particular feature, detecting that exact version (e.g. 97.0a1 versus 97.0 will not be possible).

Merging. This feature will be part of QZ Tray 2.2.1 (as well as QZ Tray 2.1.5 if a release is made before EOL).
