#48960: fix: abort more descriptively for beforeunload
Merged
Description of Change
Closes #48912
Tracks the target of a pending navigation during beforeunload and, if the unload isn’t prevented, aborts the next load with a descriptive did-fail-load (ERR_ABORTED) instead of letting it fail generically. Also improves docs to point to will-prevent-unload behavior around loadURL.
