Description of Change

Backport of #54226

See that PR for details.

Conflicts resolved: the fix-sync header list keeps this branch's reclient item, drops the clang-format/typescript-go/hermetic-Python items this branch never had, and is renumbered. "typescript-go" was also dropped from the example lists in the fix-sync and build.yml comments. The macos-ubsan-schedule.yml and release-build.yml changes were dropped because those workflows don't exist on 43-x-y. In the four pipeline-segment-electron-{build,clang-tidy,gn-check,publish}.yml files, this branch's own GCLIENT_EXTRA_ARGS line (with its checkout_arm=True fallback) was kept, and only --custom-var=host_cpu=arm64 was added to the macOS branch of the expression. The branch-only "Fix rollup" / "Sync native rollup libs" steps were kept, because rollup_libs is a ${platform}-templated CIPD package that the Linux sync host still resolves to linux-amd64, so it still has to be swapped on the macOS runner (just like esbuild); main's removal of the typescript-go step does not apply to this branch.
