@xterm/addon-canvas deprecated and will be removed in @xterm/xterm v6 #22509

Description

@Venefilyn

We currently rely on @xterm/addon-canvas for rendering the @xterm/xterm terminal. Once they release v6 however it will not be updated to work with it as it is currently deprecated in favor of the @xterm/addon-webgl.

Previously we chose Canvas over WebGL due to not being able to rely on browsers having WebGL enabled:

We should evaluate enabling WebGL by default and having Canvas one as fallback. Currently AFAIK no features are added to the Canvas addon which means we cannot solve focus trapping Shift+Tab on #22504.
