Justin Halsall bcf93ca926 docs: revamp installation docs for esm and umd (#1788)
* docs: revamp installation docs for esm and umd

Document recommended install paths across the main guides and package
READMEs for rrweb, @rrweb/all, @rrweb/record, @rrweb/replay, and
rrweb-player.

Clarify three usage modes: bundler/npm, browser no-build with
import maps and +esm, and legacy UMD fallback.

* Apply suggestions from code review

* Apply suggestion from @eoghanmurray

* Apply formatting changes

* docs(all): streamline README usage section

Move the guide link next to the import example and remove the
duplicated Usage section to keep docs concise and easier to scan.

* docs(readme): update gzip size badges in zh-cn readme

* docs(plugins): update readme imports to scoped esm packages

Replace `rrweb` default imports and `rrweb.Replayer` usage with
`@rrweb/record` `record` and `@rrweb/replay` `Replayer` in plugin
usage examples.

Also update canvas WebRTC plugin imports to scoped `@rrweb/*`
package names to keep docs aligned with current package structure.

* docs: update docs to prefer scoped esm packages

replace `rrweb` default import examples with `@rrweb/record` and
`@rrweb/replay` across recipes and guides in en/zh-CN.

clarify package selection for new integrations, add `@rrweb/all`
convenience guidance, and refresh CDN/style import snippets for ESM and legacy UMD compatibility.

# Custom Event
You may need to record some custom events along with the rrweb events, and let them be played as other events. The custom event API was designed for this.
After starting the recording, we can call the `record.addCustomEvent` API to add a custom event.
```js
import { record } from '@rrweb/record';
// start recording
record({
emit(event) {
...
}
})
// record some custom events at any time
record.addCustomEvent('submit-form', {
name: 'Adam',
age: 18
})
record.addCustomEvent('some-error', {
error
})
```
`addCustomEvent` accepts two parameters. The first one is a string-type `tag`, while the second one is an any-type `payload`.
During the replay, we can add an event listener to custom events, or configure the style of custom events in rrweb-player's timeline.
**Listen to custom events**
```js
import { Replayer } from '@rrweb/replay';
const replayer = new Replayer(events);
replayer.on('custom-event', (event) => {
console.log(event.tag, event.payload);
});
```
**Display in rrweb-player**
```js
new rrwebPlayer({
target: document.body,
props: {
events,
// configure the color of tag which will be displayed on the timeline
tags: {
'submit-form': '#21e676',
'some-error': 'red',
},
},
});
```
