Backport of #52856

See that PR for details.

Manual backport notes: include-order conflict only (browser.cc); node::TearDownOncePerProcess() exists in this branch's Node.

Notes: Fixed a possible crash (SIGABRT) during process exit when the process had loaded tls/https shortly before exiting, affecting app.exit() before ready and short-lived ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE / child_process.fork() scripts.

Released in v42.10.0
