Release 4.7.0

[Matus Tomlein (matus-tomlein)]

Introduces a new @snowplow/browser-plugin-bot-detection plugin that integrates FingerprintJS BotD for client-side bot detection. When added to a tracker, it runs a single detection on page load and automatically attaches the result as a client_side_bot_detection context entity to every tracked event, indicating whether the visitor is a bot and, if so, which kind (e.g. headless_chrome, selenium). This complements server-side bot detection by capturing the browser environment signals that are only observable client-side.

• Add browser-plugin-bot-detection wrapping FingerprintJS BotD (Add browser-plugin-bot-detection wrapping FingerprintJS BotD #1460)
