[DevTools] Reset extension backend on pagehide (#37155)
I have noticed inconsistency errors being thrown during browser navigations that involve entries from BFCache. The main argument on why this could be affecting React DevTools backend lifecycle is the fact that Chrome kills the port manually, while freezing and preserving the JavaScript heap - https://developer.chrome.com/blog/bfcache-extension-messaging-changes. Basically, we could end up in a permutation, where port is dead, but Backend / Agent are alive. Such setup is not expected by React DevTools. On `main`: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9ca10286-b545-4384-bd6b-33d9a4ddde3d With these changes: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c4639c4a-6385-4248-a5c4-a39895d7fff6 I couldn't come up with a good test for this yet, but I will try to add something. I am not convinced yet that emulating `pagehide` / `pageshow` would be sufficient to reproduce browser environment during BFCache entries.
