Public bug reported:

Per-WebContext remote debugging hasn't worked correctly for a long time,
since a Chromium change meant that all WebContents in a process were
debuggable on all remote debugging HTTP endpoints.

Since
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/1062876ae55867edab8ec43884e9b9e15d0fe451%5E%21/,
it is now no longer possible to set up multiple remote debugging HTTP
endpoints. There can only be 1 per process, unless we make some changes
to Chromium (and I don't think that's worth it).

For now, we'll have to modify Oxide to only allow remote debugging to be
enabled on 1 WebContext at a time. We should deprecate this API though
and replace it with a global one instead.
