This change allows for users to open an instance of the DevTools Widget Inspector within a web view embedded in the widget previewer. This will allow for developers to inspect their previews without requiring IDEs to create a special debug session for the widget previewer application. DWDS is also rolled as part of this change to add DDS and DevTools support for the `web-server` device. Fixes #166423

Code Review
This pull request introduces embedded Widget Inspector support within the widget previewer, a significant enhancement for developers. The changes are well-structured, adding a split-pane UI for the inspector, a toggle control, and the necessary DTD services to plumb through the DevTools URI. My review focuses on improving robustness by handling a potential null pointer exception, enhancing UI adaptability by using theme-aware colors, and general code cleanup.
