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.

# Record And Replay
Record and Replay is the most common use case, which is suitable for any scenario that needs to collect user behaviors and replay them.
You only need a simple API call to record the website:
```js
import { record } from '@rrweb/record';
const stopFn = record({
emit(event) {
// save the event
},
});
```
You can use any approach to store the recorded events, like sending the events to your backend and save them into the database.
But you should guarantee:
- a set of events are sorted by its timestamp
- save every event
You can use the `stopFn` to stop the recording.
Replay is also as simple as passing events into `Replayer`.
```js
import { Replayer } from '@rrweb/replay';
const events = GET_YOUR_EVENTS;
const replayer = new Replayer(events);
replayer.play();
```
