Backport of 'Pin the Baseline date in .browserslistrc' into 19.3

What does this MR do and why?

This backports the two commits of !261541 (merged) so the compiled assets of 19.3 no longer depend on the day of the build:

  1. .browserslistrc pins the Baseline date to 2026-10-01 instead of using the undated baseline widely available query.
  2. .browserslistrc is added to the files hashed for the assets cache key.

On this branch's yarn.lock, the date 2026-10-01 resolves to the same browsers as the undated query does today, so the pin does not change the browser set.

The cache key commit forces one recompile, so the pin reaches the assets.

The monthly keep that moves the Baseline date is not backported. 19.3 keeps the 2026-10-01 browser set.

MR acceptance checklist

This checklist encourages us to confirm any changes have been analyzed to reduce risks in quality, performance, reliability, security, and maintainability.

  • This MR is backporting a bug fix, documentation update, or spec fix, previously merged in the default branch.
  • The MR that fixed the bug on the default branch has been deployed to GitLab.com (not applicable for documentation or spec changes).
  • The MR title is descriptive (e.g. "Backport of 'title of default branch MR'"). This is important, since the title will be copied to the patch blog post.
  • Required labels have been applied to this merge request
  • This MR has been approved by a maintainer (only one approval is required).
  • Ensure the e2e:test-on-omnibus-ee job has succeeded, or if it has failed, investigate the failures. If you determine the failures are unrelated, you may proceed. If you need assistance investigating, request help in the #s_developer_experience Slack channel to confirm the failures are unrelated to the merge request.
