Skip Edge on unmanaged devices instead of writing a dead policy

Browse Source 
Unmanaged Edge installs extensions from the Microsoft Store and nowhere else:
it reads ExtensionInstallForcelist, blanks the value to [BLOCKED]<id>, and
reports an invalid extension id forever after. Writing that key buys nothing

badge, so the script now checks dsregcmd and skips Edge with the two ways
round it. -Force writes it anyway.

Store, so use Chrome or Brave, or run the unpacked copy there. See
[deploy/README.md](deploy/README.md). Either way the extension notices when
the dashboard is running newer code than it is: a policy install asks Chrome to
fetch the new CRX, an unpacked one reloads itself from disk. Clicking the reload
