Export versioned schemas and validation utilities in browser bundle

- Update browser.ts to export validation utilities
- Export McpbManifestSchema for backwards compatibility
- Update config.ts to accept McpbManifestAny for broader manifest version support
- Add validate.ts with version-aware validation functions
