Protection debugging over websocket #2519

Description:

Improves the config debugging to also open a websocket to a https://github.com/duckduckgo/privacy-protections-debugger server. Over this connection the following can happen:

The browser can forward tab data to be shown in the debugger.
The debugger can send commands, such as requesting a reload of a specific tab.
The debugger can register to get devtools logging for a specific tab.
The extension can forward devtools messages to the debugger.

Steps to test this PR:

Build the extension in dev mode.
Checkout and run https://github.com/duckduckgo/privacy-protections-debugger locally.
Go to the extension settings, and put in the local 'Custom config URL' (e.g. http://localhost:3000/config).
In the debugger, go to the 'Logs' tab. You should see the extension connected, and tabs shown.
Chose a tab, and load a page in it. You should see requests shown in the UI.
