Development Server for Checkout Extensions (pre GA)

[t6d]

To enable the new development server for checkout extensions, we need to perform the following tasks in order

• [x] Ship the outstanding PR for rendering version configuration

• [x] Release v0.2.0 of the Go binary via GitHub releases

• [x] Update the version constraint in Shopify CLI (ext/shopify-extensions/version) to reference the new v0.2.0 version of the shopify-extensions binary

• [x] Activate the Ruby Gem extension to download the Go binary to the GemSpec (this will require review from the CLI team as this change results in downloading the Go binary every time the CLI is installed). This will require configuring adding an extension to the GemSpec similar to

  Gem::Specification.new "shopify", "1.0" do |s|
    s.extensions = %w[ext/shopify_extensions/extconf.rb]
  end

• [x] Test the full installation flow and record a video that we can attach to the PR request

• [x] Create a PR to change the behaviour of Extension::Models::DevelopmentServerRequirements to enable the new development server for checkout_ui_extensions regardless of the beta flag state. All other extensions should continue to use the legacy flow unless they have the beta flag enabled.
