Update list of pre-release notebooks (#6609)

- Update the stale list of pre-release notebooks by
  dropping notebooks that work with the last release 1.3.0
- Enable notebook tests that pass at Cirq HEAD
- Fix old instructions on installing pre-release cirq
- Add missing import to examples/stabilizer_code.ipynb

 At release time, we change all the **pre-release notebooks** in bulk:
  - remove the pre-release notices
- - change `pip install cirq —pre` to `pip install cirq`
+ - change `pip install cirq~=1.0.dev` to `pip install cirq`
  - remove the exclusions in [isolated_notebook_test.py](https://github.com/quantumlib/Cirq/blob/main/dev_tools/notebooks/isolated_notebook_test.py) by making `NOTEBOOKS_DEPENDING_ON_UNRELEASED_FEATURES=[]`
 
 As all the notebooks have been tested continuously up to this point, the release notebook PR should pass without issues.
