Change factuality and word choice.
Added "or WOW" to the phrase, "when they are running the x64 version under Rosetta", to reflect the use of a supported platform, Windows, as a possible scenario.
Changed the wording of that same sentence to make it appear clearer. "incorrectly" to "mistakenly" and moved this word to before the verb instead of the end of the sentence.
#### Description of Change
The first sentence within the documentation "[Important: signing your code](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/tutorial-packaging#important-signing-your-code)" is grammatically incorrect.
> In order to distribute desktop applications to end users, we highly recommended for you to code sign your Electron app.
I've adjusted the copy to switch "highly recommended" to "highly recommend". I've also switched out "for you to code sign" for "that you code sign" for clarity.
> In order to distribute desktop applications to end users, we _highly recommend_ that you **code sign** your Electron app.
docs: fix code highlighting in preload tutorial
The highlighted lines in the code snippets were unaligned,
which could cause a newcomer unneeded confusion on what

This is missing-definition safe and thus allows us to move the definition of this macro away from "all compilation targets" to "just the compilation targets that depend on this macro".
In turn this makes the rebuild time changing from mas <-> darwin only 80 seconds on my machine, instead of the 12-15 minutes it used to take. This will also allow us in the future to build both MAS and darwin on the same CI machine. Costing us ~2 minutes on one machine but saving us anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour of CI time on other parts of the matrix.

feat: ensure mas builds of the same application can use safestorage
This change ensures that MAS builds of applications with an equivilant darwin build that share the same name do not fight over access to the same Safe Storage account.
Specifically this changes the account name for app "My App" from "My App" to "My App AppStore" if the app is using a MAS build of Electron.
We attempt to migrate the safe storage key from the old account, if that migration succeeds we delete the old key and move on.
Existing apps that aren't built for the app store should be unimpacted, there is one edge case where a user uses BOTH an AppStore and a darwin build of the same app only one will keep it's access to the safestorage key as during the migration we delete the old account. This is an acceptable edge case as no one should be actively using two versions of the same app.

* fix: WebAuthn Discoverable Credential (Resident Credential) #33353
Enables support for Webauthn discoverable credentials (aka resident
credentials). This allows users to authenticate without first having to
select or type a username.
To decide if discoverable credentials are supported, the class
'AuthenticatorCommon', in the chrome content code, indirectly calls the
method 'context::WebAuthenticationDelegate.SupportsResidentKeys(..)'.
The default implementation of this returns false, leaving it up to
specific implementations to override.
This change adds a new class 'ElectronWebAuthenticationDelegate' to
subclass 'WebAuthenticationDelegate' and override the behaviour of the
'SupportsResidentKeys' method to return true.
The implementation is copied from the Chrome browser equivalent
'ChromeWebAuthenticationDelegate', though the chrome class includes
other methods that don't seem to be required for this functionality.
The 'ElectronContentClient' class was also updated to store an instance
of 'ElectronWebAuthenticationDelegate', and to provide an accessor
method, GetWebAuthenticationDelegate().

Update `.nvmrc` Node.js version from 14 to 16
The `DEPS` file states that Electron is on Node.js ^16.x. I am guessing that the PR bumping to Node.js 16 overlooked the `.nvmrc` file, which is updated in this PR. If leaving the `.nvmrc` file on 14 was intentional, please disregard this PR.

* fix: broken wayland window decorations due to botched chromium update
The `GetTitlebarBounds().height()` is obviously intended to be placed in
the `top` parameter, which used to be the second one before upstream
removed multi-parameter `gfx::Rect::Inset`, but it's the first parameter
for `gfx::Insets::TLBR`, which was intended to replace the removed
`Inset` function. However, whoever updated Chromium kept the parameter
unchanged, causing the title bar height to be passed to the `left`
parameter, causing the window title bar to be unclickable.
* fix: wayland window top bar buttons unclickable

* fix: ensure native modules are built with config.gypi
This works by patching node.h to check that two defines are set using the equivilant of an XNOR operation. One define "ELECTRON_ENSURE_CONFIG_GYPI" is set via common.gypi which is _already_ used to build native modules and has been since the dawn of time. Therefore this define will be set for all native module compilations targetting the Electron runtime. The second define "USING_ELECTRON_CONFIG_GYPI" is only defined when the gypi argument "using_electron_config_gypi" is set to 1 which is only done so via config.gypi. Only new enough versions of node-gyp correctly use the config.gypi file thus resulting in a compilation error on version of node-gyp that are too old.

This define is only needed when linking against Chromiums libc++ which we currently
do not ship / expose the symbols of. We probably should make those symbols visible and
actually ensure that electron-rebuild et. al link against our libc++ instead of the system libc++
but for now this fixes compilation issues on macOS where the default system clang links to the system libc++
which does not (obviously) use the Chromium ABI namespace.
For our nan tests which do link against Chromiums libc++ we define the ABI namespace in the spec runner.
When widevine was disabled at the build level we never dealt with the callback passed into GetSupportedKeySystems. This was ok until requests became marked pending in https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3430502 until the callback was called. This resulted in a promise never resolving / rejecting and certain media websites (E.g. spotify) hanging on load waiting for a signal that would never arrive.

Extending the `testing` GN profile with the arguments documented to
allow breakpoint debugging
(https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/development/debugging#breakpoint-debugging)
doesn't quite work on macOS:
```sh
is_debug = true
symbol_level = 2
forbid_non_component_debug_builds = false
```
The build eventually fails on both Intel and Apple Silicon with the
following (summarized) error:
```sh

This symbol is defined on a file that is not declared as a dependency of
`libchrome` on the GN definitions. Why the problem is not reproducible
on plain testing or release builds remains a mystery to me. I'm guessing
some non-debug path somewhere in the GN definitions does eventually
require that file.

fix: performance problem in crashReporter.start() on macOS
This change reduces the duration of crashReporter.start() on Intel macOS
from 622 milliseconds to 257 milliseconds!
Backports https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/crashpad/crashpad/+/3641386
posix: Replace DoubleForkAndExec() with ForkAndSpawn()
The DoubleForkAndExec() function was taking over 622 milliseconds to run
on macOS 11 (BigSur) on Intel i5-1038NG7. I did some debugging by adding
some custom traces and found that the fork() syscall is the bottleneck
here, i.e., the first fork() takes around 359 milliseconds and the
nested fork() takes around 263 milliseconds. Replacing the nested fork()
and exec() with posix_spawn() reduces the time consumption to 257
milliseconds!
See https://github.com/libuv/libuv/pull/3064 to know why fork() is so
slow on macOS and why posix_spawn() is a better replacement.
Another point to note is that even base::LaunchProcess() from Chromium
calls posix_spawnp() on macOS -

### `app.getSystemLocale()`
Returns `string` - The current system locale. On Windows and Linux, it is fetched using Chromium's `i18n` library. On macOS, `[NSLocale currentLocale]` is used instead. To get the user's current system language, which is not always the same as the locale, it is better to use [`app.getPreferredSystemLanguages()`](#appgetpreferredsystemlanguages).
Different operating systems also use the regional data differently:
* Windows 11 uses the regional format for numbers, dates, and times.
* macOS Monterey uses the region for formatting numbers, dates, times, and for selecting the currency symbol to use.
Therefore, this API can be used for purposes such as choosing a format for rendering dates and times in a calendar app, especially when the developer wants the format to be consistent with the OS.
**Note:** This API must be called after the `ready` event is emitted.
**Note:** To see example return values of this API compared to other locale and language APIs, see [`app.getPreferredSystemLanguages()`](#appgetpreferredsystemlanguages).
### `app.getPreferredSystemLanguages()`
Returns `string[]` - The user's preferred system languages from most preferred to least preferred, including the country codes if applicable. A user can modify and add to this list on Windows or macOS through the Language and Region settings.
The API uses `GlobalizationPreferences` (with a fallback to `GetSystemPreferredUILanguages`) on Windows, `\[NSLocale preferredLanguages\]` on macOS, and `g_get_language_names` on Linux.
This API can be used for purposes such as deciding what language to present the application in.
Here are some examples of return values of the various language and locale APIs with different configurations:
On Windows, given application locale is German, the regional format is Finnish (Finland), and the preferred system languages from most to least preferred are French (Canada), English (US), Simplified Chinese (China), Finnish, and Spanish (Latin America):
On macOS, given the application locale is German, the region is Finland, and the preferred system languages from most to least preferred are French (Canada), English (US), Simplified Chinese, and Spanish (Latin America):
Both the available languages and regions and the possible return values differ between the two operating systems.
As can be seen with the example above, on Windows, it is possible that a preferred system language has no country code, and that one of the preferred system languages corresponds with the language used for the regional format. On macOS, the region serves more as a default country code: the user doesn't need to have Finnish as a preferred language to use Finland as the region,and the country code `FI` is used as the country code for preferred system languages that do not have associated countries in the language name.

## Planned Breaking API Changes (24.0)
### API Changed: `nativeImage.createThumbnailFromPath(path, size)`
The `maxSize` parameter has been changed to `size` to reflect that the size passed in will be the size the thumbnail created. Previously, Windows would not scale the image up if it were smaller than `maxSize`, and
macOS would always set the size to `maxSize`. Behavior is now the same across platforms.
The implementation of draggable regions (using the CSS property `-webkit-app-region: drag`) has changed on macOS to bring it in line with Windows and Linux. Previously, when a region with `-webkit-app-region: no-drag` overlapped a region with `-webkit-app-region: drag`, the `no-drag` region would always take precedence on macOS, regardless of CSS layering. That is, if a `drag` region was above a `no-drag` region, it would be ignored. Beginning in Electron 23, a `drag` region on top of a `no-drag` region will correctly cause the region to be draggable.
Additionally, the `customButtonsOnHover` BrowserWindow property previously created a draggable region which ignored the `-webkit-app-region` CSS property. This has now been fixed (see [#37210](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/37210#issuecomment-1440509592) for discussion).
As a result, if your app uses a frameless window with draggable regions on macOS, the regions which are draggable in your app may change in Electron 23.
### Removed: Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 support
[Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 are no longer supported](https://www.electronjs.org/blog/windows-7-to-8-1-deprecation-notice). Electron follows the planned Chromium deprecation policy, which will [deprecate Windows 7 support beginning in Chromium 109](https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/185534985/sunsetting-support-for-windows-7-8-8-1-in-early-2023?hl=en).
Older versions of Electron will continue to run on these operating systems, but Windows 10 or later will be required to run Electron v23.0.0 and higher.
`webContents.decrementCapturerCount(stayHidden, stayAwake)` has been deprecated.
It is now automatically handled by `webContents.capturePage` when a page capture completes.
```js
constw=newBrowserWindow({show:false})
// Removed in Electron 23
w.webContents.incrementCapturerCount()
w.capturePage().then(image=>{
console.log(image.toDataURL())
w.webContents.decrementCapturerCount()
})
// Replace with
w.capturePage().then(image=>{
console.log(image.toDataURL())
})
```
### Removed: WebContents `new-window` event
The `new-window` event of WebContents has been removed. It is replaced by [`webContents.setWindowOpenHandler()`](api/web-contents.md#contentssetwindowopenhandlerhandler).
The `scroll-touch-begin`, `scroll-touch-end` and `scroll-touch-edge` events on
BrowserWindow are deprecated. Instead, use the newly available [`input-event`
event](api/web-contents.md#event-input-event) on WebContents.
```js
// Deprecated
win.on('scroll-touch-begin',scrollTouchBegin)
win.on('scroll-touch-edge',scrollTouchEdge)
win.on('scroll-touch-end',scrollTouchEnd)
// Replace with
win.webContents.on('input-event',(_,event)=>{
if(event.type==='gestureScrollBegin'){
scrollTouchBegin()
}elseif(event.type==='gestureScrollUpdate'){
scrollTouchEdge()
}elseif(event.type==='gestureScrollEnd'){
scrollTouchEnd()
}
})
```
## Planned Breaking API Changes (21.0)
### Behavior Changed: V8 Memory Cage enabled
The V8 memory cage has been enabled, which has implications for native modules
which wrap non-V8 memory with `ArrayBuffer` or `Buffer`. See the [blog post
about the V8 memory cage](https://www.electronjs.org/blog/v8-memory-cage) for
more details.
### API Changed: `webContents.printToPDF()`
`webContents.printToPDF()` has been modified to conform to [`Page.printToPDF`](https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Page/#method-printToPDF) in the Chrome DevTools Protocol. This has been changes in order to
address changes upstream that made our previous implementation untenable and rife with bugs.

If you see a prompt for `Username for 'https://chrome-internal.googlesource.com':` when running `gclient sync` on Windows, it's probably because the `DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN` environment variable is not set to 0. Open `Control Panel` → `System and Security` → `System` → `Advanced system settings` and add a system variable
