Adopt new Swift Evolution metadata file format #4
Conversation
This adds a new `make dev` command that builds a version of the Alfred workflow with a different name and bundle ID. This is useful for testing the workflow in Alfred during development without overwriting the production version.
This change adapts to schema version 1.0.0 of the Swift Evolution metadata file format, which went live on 2024-04-21 (with schema version "0.1.0" during the transition). For more info on the changes in the new schema, see James Dempsey’s posts at https://forums.swift.org/t/swift-evolution-metadata-transition/71387 and https://forums.swift.org/t/swift-evolution-metadata-proposed-changes/70779. The old schema will stop working on 2024-07-22, so we need to ship an update before then. Fixes #2.
We had previously repeated the proposal title in the subtitle because the title field might get truncated earlier due to its bigger font size. However, now that we display some additional metadata in the subtitle (version when a proposal was implemented, review period of proposals in review), I think not repeating the title is better.

Nice benefit of the new file format: we can display additional metadata. Note the Swift versions for "Implemented" proposals and the dates of the review periods for "Active Review" proposals.

I'd like to ship a new version fairly soon to give people enough time to update before the old file format stops working, but I'd really love to add one more feature, and that is local caching of the JSON file: see #5. |

I chose this wording for listing upcoming feature flags in the subtitle: "Feature flag: GlobalConcurrency (enabled in Swift 6 language version)" The downside is that it's fairly long and may get truncated depending on how big your Alfred window is? I couldn't come up with a shorter text that I found was equally clear. I'm very open to suggestions.
