Updated Inventory Scanner in the Shopify App

We've updated the inventory scanner in the Shopify App to improve the inventory adjustment workflow. It is now easier to:
* swith locations for inventory adjustments
* scan multiple items without the scanned items list interfering with the scanner
* make additional quantity edits, such as adjusting Available, On Hand and Committed counts
* review and edit all inventory adjustments from a single review screen
* easily understand the final adjusted inventory count while still seeing the original count + adjustments count as secondary information

We also updated the underlying scanner library to align with Shopify POS. This improves the accuracy of the scanner and increases barcode support.

Notes:
* GS1 DataBar Omnidirectional, Truncated, Stacked, Stacked Omnidirectional, Expanded, Expanded Stacked barcodes are not compatible with Android on either the current or previous versions of the scanner.
* Format Code 128 is not currently compatible with iPhone 12 on either the current of previous versions of the scanner.
