Description
@dotproto asked via Slack:
Is it possible to preview mdn/browser-compat-data updates in a locally rendered frontend?
I think this is something we should support.
One solution would be to include a script in mdn/browser-compat-data that serves the files as currently built and deployed by mdn/bcd-utils. Then we could point FRED_BCD_BASE_URL to this server.

Research direction
Start with components/env/index.js and the FRED_BCD_BASE_URL setting, then review the mdn/bcd-utils api directory referenced in the issue. Determine how a local server could expose the checkout in the same form as the deployed files and how the frontend would point to it. Done means local mdn/browser-compat-data updates can be previewed in a locally rendered frontend.
