e667aaaab1 LibDevTools+LibWeb: Send IndexedDB change updates
The Storage panel expects storesUpdate messages after watched storage
changes. Summarize committed IndexedDB mutation logs into DevTools paths
and forward them through WebContent so Firefox can refresh database,
object-store, and record rows without polling.

Firefox's behaviour is less than ideal here. A lot of things don't
update automatically even inspecting a page in Firefox. Some
things (like new databases) won't show up until you fully refresh the
page. So that makes it a bit hard to know that we're doing things
correctly. As far as I can tell, we are at least behaving as well as
Firefox requires.

We do have one workaround: Firefox doesn't display record updates
without a manual refresh, and in fact any change messages for them show
up as rows in the host's database table. So for now, we filter them out
to avoid visual weirdness in the inspector.

cb47dbfc7a LibDevTools+LibWeb: Show IndexedDB in DevTools
Firefox asks the storage watcher for an indexed-db resource before it
shows IndexedDB entries in the Storage panel. Add an IndexedDB actor and
serialize the live LibWeb database registry on demand, so WebContent can
return the host tree and table rows without duplicating database state.

Use the LibWeb inspection helpers to read IndexedDB internals, and keep
the Firefox protocol shape in LibDevTools. WebContent only forwards the
serialized response over the existing DevTools IPC path.
