The live inspector is inaccurate and slow compared to the cached inspector, we should improve it.

Ideas:

Cache entire UI tree passively (loading entire tree at once is too slow).
Subscribe to tree structure changes (see doc) to keep UI tree up to date.
Force refresh of subtrees to ensure they are accurate on various events:
- Mouse hover
- Mouse click
- Focus change
Consider refreshing entire parent window of target / selected element

Improved performance by having the overlay window ignored by UIA and using ElementFromPoint UIA APIs instead of walking the UIA tree ourselves.
