Add allowedDomains check for RemoteAsset theme checker

Enhances developer experience by validating the remote assets (scripts,
stylesheets) are loaded not only from Shopify CDNs but now approved
domains. This prevents potential performance risks and incorrect errors
from loading resources from untrusted sources, forcing developers to go
and enable a source if it's _required_

The implementation includes:
- Schema property for configuring allowedDomains
- Domain validation against configured allow list
- Test coverage for both allowed and non-allowed domains

Reverted minor changeset to patch bump

Fixed prettier issues

Refactor domain list from global to parameter

Changes domain validation to accept allowedDomains as a parameter
instead of mutating a global array. This improves code clarity and
testability by making data flow explicit.

The change reduces side effets by:
- Removing relince on shared mutable state
- Making dpendencies clear through function signatures
- Enabling better unit testing of domain validation logic

Added file formatting

Add normalisaztion & tests.

- Added normalization to domains
- Added extra tests to test against and for normalisation of strings.

Update domains in test

refactor: remove redundant regex validation in normaliseAllowedDomains

- Remove regex pre-validation since new URL() already enforces strict
URL standards
- Simplify code by relying solely on new URL() for validation and
normalisation
