Policy templates for Firefox 123 and Firefox ESR 115.8

Note: There are no changes to the ADMX templates in this release. I bumped the version to be consistent. There is no need to move to these templates if you are using versions below v5.8.

I'm no longer using a versioned README for documentation, I'm using a GitHub page which is available at:

https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/

You can search on the corresponding version of Firefox (123 in this case) to see version specific policy changes.

If you need to see version specific documentation, you use this link:

https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/v5.8/docs/index.md

Preferences - You can now set a Type on preferences. This is useful for settings the value of user preferences with a 0 or 1 so they don't get converted to a boolean.

This release updates the following policies:

ExtensionSettings - Documentation for default_area has been added (The functionality was added in Firefox 113, but the documentation was missing).

I have added new "JSON on one line" policies in the GPO for all of the policies that support JSON. This is because the new Microsoft support for Custom AMDX and ADML templates (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/configuration/administrative-templates-import-custom) requires you to explicitly add a new line in the UI for each line of your JSON, but it limits lines to 1024 so you can't put all your JSON on one line.

I'm hoping they fix this at some point, but this is the best workaround I could come up with.
