Backport of #54924

See that PR for details.

Notes: Fixed utilityProcess dropping messages posted with process.parentPort.postMessage() right before the process exits.

…4924)

* fix: deliver pending utilityProcess messages before emitting exit

HandleTermination closed the parentPort connector before emitting 'exit',
so messages the child had posted but the browser had not dispatched yet
were dropped. The connector dispatches one message per task, and the exit
notification can already be queued ahead of those tasks, so a child that
posts several messages and then calls process.exit() lost all but the
first.

Dispatch whatever is already queued on the port before closing it. Browser
shutdown still closes the port without dispatching, since the child is
still running then.

* test: extract sleepSync helper and drop utility-process ack handshake

Move the Atomics.wait() call in the utilityProcess message-before-exit
test into a documented sleepSync() spec helper.

With pending parentPort messages now dispatched before 'exit', the
api-net-spec.js fixture can post its result and exit right away again,
so remove the ack handshake that #54901 added as a workaround, along
with the error logging that covered the wait for the ack.
