Description of Change

Refs #47922

cppgc wrapper destructors run during sweeping, where they must not touch other GC objects, run JavaScript, or tear down native registrations. Debugger, Notification and WebContents each hand rolled an off-heap peer for this. Add NativePeer<Wrapper>, which owns native registrations, resources, and independent V8 roots for a wrapper.

Currently adopted for Debugger and Notification, will be used by WebContents, Views, BaseWindow in followup.
