Add public import for uniqueId helper

[chriskrycho]

This landed as available via string resolution at unique-id but did not come with a public import, meaning it doesn't currently work in <template>/strict mode. Per discussion at the Framework team meeting a few weeks ago, it should be exported from @ember/helper, the same as the other public helpers which are not built-ins (hash, array, concat, get, and fn etc.).

It needs two things to be public:

• Create public import for uniqueId helper #20171
• A note in the blog post for that release (which should be 4.8).

Additionally, we'll want to update ecosystem support for it:

• add it to the list of allowed built-ins for the no-curly-component-invocation rule in ember-template-lint
  • Usage of unique-id helper causes rule triggers ember-template-lint/ember-template-lint#2592
  • Add unique-id to allowed built-in helpers in no-curly-component-invocation and no-implicit-this rules ember-template-lint/ember-template-lint#2593

I should be able to take a look at this within a day or two. Should we also add it to the list of 'allowed' built-ins for the no-curly-component-invocation ember-template-lint rule?

@geneukum good call. Let me add that to the list of tasks – and also, a colleague mentioned to me late Friday that he’s also interested in helping; let's coordinate efforts in #dev-ember-js on Discord!

I've opened up the issue: ember-template-lint/ember-template-lint#2592 and PR: ember-template-lint/ember-template-lint#2593 to hopefully get the ember-template-lint part of this handled.

That colleague is me! That discord channel link doesn't seem to work. Edit: Okay got it.

Question about the re-export, I see we're exposing these functions as part of global Ember object. Should we do that for this as well?

Ember._Input = Input;
Ember._hash = hash;
Ember._array = array;
Ember._concat = concat;
Ember._get = get;
Ember._on = on;
Ember._fn = fn;

does this issue still need fixing?
