Update `unsubscribeAll` to POST directly to basket

[robhudson]

Description

The unsubscribeAll function currently sends a POST request to the preference center on mozilla.org to unsubscribe users from all newsletters. However, this approach has some limitations and potential issues:

1. The preference center itself forwards the request to Basket, making this an indirect method.
2. The preference center recently adopted a js-only implementation for handling this request, which may cause unsubscribeAll to break or behave unpredictably in the future.

Proposed Solution

To ensure future reliability unsubscribeAll should send requests directly to Basket. This is the more direct and stable approach since Basket is the service ultimately handling the unsubscription.

The direct API call would:

• POST to https://basket.mozilla.org/news/unsubscribe/<token>/
• Include a request body with optout=Y, this is the signal to basket to unsubscribe from ALL newsletters and flags the user as opted out of emails.

Implementation Example

Here’s how the request could look using fetch:

await fetch(`https://basket.mozilla.org/news/unsubscribe/${userToken}/`, {
    method: "POST",
    body: "optout=Y",
    headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
        "X-Requested-With": "XMLHttpRequest",
    },
});
