Add support for passing arguments to the embedded AARI widget

[twschiller]

Context

• AA 0.26 introduces and embeddable AARI iframe. We have a YAML-based brick that wraps the widget to make it easy to include in a sidebar
• The AARI widget doesn't yet support passing arguments via URL search parameters
• We faced a similar limitation with UiPath Apps. To pass arguments, we implemented a JS brick that returns the iframe and uses the forms/set brick to set the inputs: https://github.com/pixiebrix/pixiebrix-extension/blob/c4cfcba2da729c913266cc22e8f0016769b5c0b1/src/contrib/uipath/embedApp.ts#L48-L48
• YAML based bricks is currently unpublished: @aa/aari/widget-renderer
• @mthek10 is the builder of the YAML brick

Implementation Sketch

• Copy the @pixiebrix/uipath/app brick and adapt for the AARI widget bricks
• Remove the YAML-based brick from the registry

Alternative Approaches

• This limitation may come up with all iframeable content. A more general approach would be to introduce the ability to run bricks in sidebar iframes.

Discussion/Considerations

• We should ask the AA team what the URL-based interface is expected to be, so when support is rolled out we can just use the URL-parameter based approach
• The forms/set brick might not work for the AARI forms. IIRC, AARI forms don't have the argument name as the name for the field?
• Out of the gate, we only need to support the most common input types, e.g., text fields, date fields, etc.
