Target: 42-x-y
Backport of #52872
See that PR for details. Trop could not cherry-pick it cleanly; the only conflict was include ordering in shell/browser/javascript_environment.cc.
Notes: Fixed custom V8 snapshots (electron-mksnapshot, and the loadBrowserProcessSpecificV8Snapshot fuse) having no effect in the main process on macOS arm64, Linux x64 and Windows x64.
