 Introduce a new `$is_edge` global for the Microsoft Edge browser.

 The `$is_IE` and `$is_chrome` globals no longer return `true` for Edge,
 which is expected as Edge is its own browser and should not be treated
 like IE. While it might be beneficial for Edge to be treated like Chrome
 on the client side, it benefits nobody for the `$is_chrome` global to
 return true.

 See #33193
