chore: cherry-pick 69403d85b78b from chromium by georgexu99 · Pull Request #54596 · electron/electron

Description of Change

Backport of https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/8424840. Fixes #54490.

On macOS, if the system refuses to register the app for sleep/wake notifications, Electron crashes on launch before any app code runs. The upstream fix skips that registration instead, so the app starts normally and only powerMonitor's suspend/resume events stop firing. main and 45-x-y already have it through the Chromium upgrade.

Same backport for 43-x-y (#54597) and 42-x-y (#54598).

Verified with the testcase from the issue in a macOS VM: stock 44.5.1 crashes on launch, this PR's CI build launches and quits cleanly.
