trop[bot] c9c5f27841 fix: defer Wrappable destruction in SecondWeakCallback to a posted task (#50693)
V8's second-pass weak callbacks run inside a
DisallowJavascriptExecutionScope: they may touch the V8 API but must
not invoke JS, directly or indirectly. Several Electron Wrappables
(WebContents in particular) emit JS events from their destructors,
so deleting synchronously inside SecondWeakCallback can crash with
"Invoke in DisallowJavascriptExecutionScope" when GC happens to
collect the JS wrapper during a foreground GC task — typically during
shutdown's uv_run drain after a leaked WebContentsView.

This was previously latent and timing-dependent (electron/electron#47420,
electron/electron#45416, podman-desktop/podman-desktop#12409). The
esbuild migration's keepNames option (which wraps every function/class
with an Object.defineProperty call) shifted heap layout enough to make
the spec/fixtures/crash-cases/webcontentsview-create-leak-exit case
reliably reproduce it on every run, giving a clean signal for the fix.

Both WrappableBase and DeprecatedWrappableBase SecondWeakCallback now
post the deletion via base::SequencedTaskRunner::GetCurrentDefault()
so the destructor (and any Emit it does) runs once V8 has left the GC
scope. Falls back to synchronous deletion if no task runner is
available (early/late process lifetime).

Fixes electron/electron#47420.
