FEATURE: Implement browser update in crawler view (#12448)
browser-update script does not work correctly in some very old browsers
because the contents of <noscript> is not accessible in JavaScript.
For these browsers, the server can display the crawler page and add the
browser update notice.

Simply loading the browser-update script in the crawler view is not a
solution because that means all crawlers will also see it.

Sam Saffron 30990006a9 DEV: enable frozen string literal on all files
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.

Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging

Sam 7b562d2f46 FEATURE: much improved and simplified crawler detection
- phase one does it match 'trident|webkit|gecko|chrome|safari|msie|opera'
    yes- well it is possibly a browser

- phase two does it match 'rss|bot|spider|crawler|facebook|archive|wayback|ping|monitor'
    probably a crawler then

Also improves performance of crawler detection slightly
