Add direct script to embedder channel (#39039)
This PR **removes** `ScriptToConstellationMessage::ForwardToEmbedder`, and replaces it with an explicit `ScriptToEmbedderChannel`. This new channel is based on `GenericCallback` and in single-process mode will directly send the message the to the embedder and wake it. In multi-process mode, the message is routed via the ROUTER, since waking is only possible from the same process currently. This means in multi-process mode there are likely no direct perf benefits, since we still need to hop the message over the ROUTER (instead of over the constellation). In single-process mode we can directly send the message to the embedder, which should provide a noticable latency improvement in all cases where script is blocked waiting on the embedder to reply. This does not change the way the embedder receives messages - the receiving end is unchanged. ## How was sending messages to the embedder working before? 1. Script wraps it's message to the embedder in `ScriptToConstellationMessage::ForwardToEmbedder` and sends it to constellation. 2. The [constellation event loop] receives the message in [handle_request] 3. If deserialization fails, [an error is logged and the message is ignored] 4. Since our message came from script, it is handle in [handle_request_from_script] 5. The message is logged with trace log level 6. If the pipeline is closed, [a warning is logged and the message ignored] 7. The wrapped `EmbedderMsg` [is forwarded to the embedder]. Sending the message also invokes `wake()` on the embedder eventloop waker. [constellation event loop]:2e1b2e7260/components/constellation/constellation.rs (L755)

[is forwarded to the embedder]:2e1b2e7260/components/constellation/constellation.rs (L1701)
Testing: Communication between Script and Embedder is extensive, so this should be covered by existing tests. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Schwender <schwenderjonathan@gmail.com>
