Some context:
- When user selects an element in tree inspector, we display current
state of the component. In order to display really current state, we
start polling the backend to get available updates for the element.
Previously:
- Straight-forward sending an event to get element updates each second.
Potential race condition is not handled in any form.
- If user navigates from the page, timeout wouldn't be cleared and we
would potentially throw "Timed out ..." error.
- Bridge disconnection is not handled in any form, if it was shut down,
we could spam with "Timed out ..." errors.
With these changes:
- Requests are now chained, so there can be a single request at a time.
- Handling both navigation and shut down events.
This should reduce the number of "Timed out ..." errors that we see in
our logs for the extension. Other surfaces will also benefit from it,
but not to the full extent, as long as they utilize
"resumeElementPolling" and "pauseElementPolling" events.
Tested this on Chrome, running React DevTools on multiple tabs,
explicitly checked the case when service worker is in idle state and we
return back to the tab.

* Manual tweaks
Adds the concept of "plugins" to the inspected element payload. Also adds the first plugin, one that resolves StyleX atomic style names to their values and displays them as a unified style object (rather than a nested array of objects and booleans).
Source file names are displayed first, in dim color, followed by an ordered set of resolved style values.
For builds with the new feature flag disabled, there is no observable change.
A next step to build on top of this could be to make the style values editable, but change the logic such that editing one directly added an inline style to the item (rather than modifying the stylex class– which may be shared between multiple other components).
* Restore inspect-element bridge optimizations
When the new Suspense cache was integrated (so that startTransition could be used) I removed a couple of optimizations between the backend and frontend that reduced bridge traffic when e.g. dehydrated paths were inspected for elements that had not rendered since previously inspected. This commit re-adds those optimizations as well as an additional test with a bug fix that I noticed while reading the backend code.
There are two remaining TODO items as of this commit:
- Make inspected element edits and deletes also use transition API
- Don't over-eagerly refresh the cache in our ping-for-updates handler
I will addres both in subsequent commits.
* Poll for update only refreshes cache when there's an update
* Added inline comment
DevTools was built with a fork of an early idea for how Suspense cache might work. This idea is incompatible with newer APIs like `useTransition` which unfortunately prevented me from making certain UX improvements. This PR swaps out the primary usage of this cache (there are a few) in favor of the newer `unstable_getCacheForType` and `unstable_useCacheRefresh` APIs. We can go back and update the others in follow up PRs.
### Messaging changes
I've refactored the way the frontend loads component props/state/etc to hopefully make it better match the Suspense+cache model. Doing this gave up some of the small optimizations I'd added but hopefully the actual performance impact of that is minor and the overall ergonomic improvements of working with the cache API make this worth it.
The backend no longer remembers inspected paths. Instead, the frontend sends them every time and the backend sends a response with those paths. I've also added a new "force" parameter that the frontend can use to tell the backend to send a response even if the component hasn't rendered since the last time it asked. (This is used to get data for newly inspected paths.)
_Initial inspection..._
```
front | | back
| -- "inspect" (id:1, paths:[], force:true) ---------> |
| <------------------------ "inspected" (full-data) -- |
```
_1 second passes with no updates..._
```
| -- "inspect" (id:1, paths:[], force:false) --------> |
| <------------------------ "inspected" (no-change) -- |
```
_User clicks to expand a path, aka hydrate..._
```
| -- "inspect" (id:1, paths:['foo'], force:true) ----> |
| <------------------------ "inspected" (full-data) -- |
```
_1 second passes during which there is an update..._
```
| -- "inspect" (id:1, paths:['foo'], force:false) ---> |
| <----------------- "inspectedElement" (full-data) -- |
```
### Clear errors/warnings transition
Previously this meant there would be a delay after clicking the "clear" button. The UX after this change is much improved.
### Hydrating paths transition
I also added a transition to hydration (expanding "dehyrated" paths).
### Better error boundaries
I also added a lower-level error boundary in case the new suspense operation ever failed. It provides a better "retry" mechanism (select a new element) so DevTools doesn't become entirely useful. Here I'm intentionally causing an error every time I select an element.
### Improved snapshot tests
I also migrated several of the existing snapshot tests to use inline snapshots and added a new serializer for dehydrated props. Inline snapshots are easier to verify and maintain and the new serializer means dehydrated props will be formatted in a way that makes sense rather than being empty (in external snapshots) or super verbose (default inline snapshot format).
