Per request from @EMartin

Brave doesn't have a distinct user agent. However they do have a function navigator.brave.isBrave() that we can apparently use (example code). So when someone makes a donation, we could check that, and then add something to the utm_key for Brave

Okay, I've added a simple check for navigator.brave to banners (diff) and donatewiki (diff). Donations made using Brave browser will now have brave_1 somewhere in the utm_key value.

I've been doing some cleanup of tracking parameters and have removed this tracking for Brave since it doesn't seem needed any more. Pulled some final numbers and 1.02% of banner donations In FY2023-24 Q1/Q2 were made using Brave as browser.
