This PR adds `snaps` under Flask build flags to the extension. This branch is mostly equivalent to the current production version of Flask, excepting some bug fixes and tweaks.
Closes#11626
Adds a missing middleware hook for `wallet_requestPermissions` that we failed to add in #12243. Also adds a runtime check that throws an error if any expected hooks are not provided to `createMethodMiddleware`.

The `selectHooks` function has been replaced with the equivalent
function from the `@metamask/rpc-methods` package, which is
functionally equivalent.
The function was included in that package so that it could be used
elsewhere in the `snaps-skunkworks` repo. Eventually the goal is to
migrate much of our RPC logic into this package so that it can be
shared across products, and by our libraries as needed.
# Permission System 2.0
## Background
This PR migrates the extension permission system to [the new `PermissionController`](https://github.com/MetaMask/snaps-skunkworks/tree/main/packages/controllers/src/permissions).
The original permission system, based on [`rpc-cap`](https://github.com/MetaMask/rpc-cap), introduced [`ZCAP-LD`](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/zcap-ld/)-like permissions to our JSON-RPC stack.
We used it to [implement](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/pull/7004) what we called "LoginPerSite" in [version 7.7.0](https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/releases/tag/v7.7.0) of the extension, which enabled the user to choose which accounts, if any, should be exposed to each dapp.
While that was a worthwhile feature in and of itself, we wanted a permission _system_ in order to enable everything we are going to with Snaps.
Unfortunately, the original permission system was difficult to use, and necessitated the creation of the original `PermissionsController` (note the "s"), which was more or less a wrapper for `rpc-cap`.
With this PR, we shake off the yoke of the original permission system, in favor of the modular, self-contained, ergonomic, and more mature permission system 2.0.
Note that [the `PermissionController` readme](https://github.com/MetaMask/snaps-skunkworks/tree/main/packages/controllers/src/permissions/README.md) explains how the new permission system works.
The `PermissionController` and `SubjectMetadataController` are currently shipped via `@metamask/snap-controllers`. This is a temporary state of affairs, and we'll move them to `@metamask/controllers` once they've landed in prod.
## Changes in Detail
First, the changes in this PR are not as big as they seem. Roughly half of the additions in this PR are fixtures in the test for the new migration (number 68), and a significant portion of the remaining ~2500 lines are due to find-and-replace changes in other test fixtures and UI files.
- The extension `PermissionsController` has been deleted, and completely replaced with the new `PermissionController` from [`@metamask/snap-controllers`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@metamask/snap-controllers).
- The original `PermissionsController` "domain metadata" functionality is now managed by the new `SubjectMetadataController`, also from [`@metamask/snap-controllers`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@metamask/snap-controllers).
- The permission activity and history log controller has been renamed `PermissionLogController` and has its own top-level state key, but is otherwise functionally equivalent to the existing implementation.
- Migration number 68 has been added to account for the new state changes.
- The tests in `app/scripts/controllers/permissions` have been migrated from `mocha` to `jest`.
Reviewers should focus their attention on the following files:
- `app/scripts/`
- `metamask-controller.js`
- This is where most of the integration work for the new `PermissionController` occurs.
Some functions that were internal to the original controller were moved here.
- `controllers/permissions/`
- `selectors.js`
- These selectors are for `ControllerMessenger` selector subscriptions. The actual subscriptions occur in `metamask-controller.js`. See the `ControllerMessenger` implementation for details.
- `specifications.js`
- The caveat and permission specifications are required by the new `PermissionController`, and are used to specify the `eth_accounts` permission and its JSON-RPC method implementation.
See the `PermissionController` readme for details.
- `migrations/068.js`
- The new state should be cross-referenced with the controllers that manage it.
The accompanying tests should also be thoroughly reviewed.
Some files may appear new but have just moved and/or been renamed:
- `app/scripts/lib/rpc-method-middleware/handlers/request-accounts.js`
- This was previously implemented in `controllers/permissions/permissionsMethodMiddleware.js`.
- `test/mocks/permissions.js`
- A truncated version of `test/mocks/permission-controller.js`.

Adds a property, `hookNames`, to each RPC method handler export in `app/scripts/lib/rpc-method-middleware` and a function, `selectHooks`, to select from them.
`createMethodMiddleware` receives a giant `opts` object that includes a bunch of different methods from `MetaMaskController` and its subcontrollers. Each method implementation only requires a subset of these methods to do its work. Because they need some kind of name, we call these methods "hooks". With this change, whenever an RPC method is called, `selectHooks` will be called to ensure that each method only receives the hooks that it needs in order to do its job.
This implementation is based on [work in `snaps-skunkworks`](https://github.com/MetaMask/snaps-skunkworks/blob/a3e1248/packages/rpc-methods/src/utils.ts#L17-L34) that will be merged in the near future.
We're bumping from `^6` to `^8`. All imports are now named, and they have been updated. This is a breaking change, in that support for `eth_signTransaction` is added in `^8.0.0`. We do not support this method in our UI, so our middleware stack has been instrumented to reject.
In addition, there are some non-breaking behavioral changes in this version that reviewers should be aware of, see the [7.0.0 release](https://github.com/MetaMask/eth-json-rpc-middleware/releases).
