#64900: Improve `browserslist:update` Grunt task

------------------------------+----------------------------
The `browserslist:update` Grunt task was previously run as a part of the
`sync-gutenberg-packages` script when the `update-browserlist` flag was
specified.
This script was removed in [62062], but the `browserslist:update` task was
left in place because it should still be run periodically.
The task should be re-surfaced somewhere in the relevant build scripts
(maybe added to `precommit:css` or as a script in `package.json`), or
documented somewhere so it's clear when/how it should be used.
The `npx browserslist at latest --update-db` command is run for the task, but
the `--update-db` command is deprecated. This should be replaced with `npx
update-browserslist-db at latest`.
