Electron Releases

Description of Change

I traced the cause of Electron bug #50327 to Chromium bug https://issues.chromium.org/issues/543082396. I submitted a patch to Chromium to fix the bug https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/8206965 which was merged.

This PR backports that fix https://crrev.com/f7aaf9a09a06e77292ea077bcd1527034d02f449 to Electron.

The Electron patch is marked for removal once Chromium rolls past the upstream revision.

Fixes #50327

Testing

I'm interested in this primarily to fix element-hq/element-web#34139 but it should fix the same issue in other Electron apps too.

I verified by creating a small bug reduction Electron app that mirrors the Element Electron app's startup sequence, reading params.misspelledWord from context-menu. On each branch I built twice from the same tree, differing only in the one-line predicate:

spec/spellchecker-spec.ts passes on Linux (22/22, remainder skipped).

This is intended for backport to 44-x-y and 43-x-y (semver/patch). I verified the patch applies and the fix works on both, per the table above.
