Description of Change

Upstreamed from the Microsoft build, patch by @deepak1556. CC @mlaurencin

On macOS, when running tests that involve spawning Electron app processes, we can encounter test timeouts due to keychain access prompts from app not being signed. The prompt itself is triggered by the network service to read the encryption key from the keychain for cookie handling. --use-mock-keychain is meant to be used for such cases.
