Notes: Fixed net.fetch and session.fetch failing permanently with net::ERR_FAILED after the Network Service process restarts.

content::RestartNetworkService() notifies Network Service process gone
handlers synchronously, before StoragePartitionImpl has noticed that its
NetworkContext is gone (it only re-initializes the context from the old
pipe's disconnect handler). ElectronBrowserContext clears its cached
URLLoaderFactory in that notification, but if GetURLLoaderFactory() runs
before the StoragePartition's disconnect handler fires, it builds a new
factory on the dying NetworkContext and caches it forever, so every later
net.fetch()/session.fetch() on that session fails with net::ERR_FAILED.

Keep a cloned Remote to the cached factory and rebuild the factory once
that clone has been disconnected, the same way Chromium's reconnectable
factories rebuild when they are no longer connected.

Make the main-process crash recovery spec probe net.fetch() right after
the restart instead of sleeping for 500ms, so it exercises this window.

Instead of resetting the cached URLLoaderFactory from a Network Service
process gone handler (which can run before StoragePartitionImpl has
reinitialized its NetworkContext) and watching a cloned pipe for
disconnects, hold a content::ReconnectableURLLoaderFactory, the same way
StoragePartitionImpl does for its own browser process factory. Its create
callback rebuilds the WillCreateURLLoaderFactory chain from the default
StoragePartition's current NetworkContext whenever the cached factory has
been disconnected.
