feat: disable background throttling

[bastiankistner]

This PR relates to #5250

It requires a change of wry for which I've opened another PR: tauri-apps/wry#1445

I've added an option disableBackgroundThrottling to allow developers to choose if their view should automatically be throttled / suspended by the browser after a certain time of being hidden or minimised. In the worst case, this default behaviour of browsers can lead to broken applications running in the background.

For instance if a websocket connection is the only reason not to suspend a "tab" and the machine goes into sleep mode and wakes up again, the connection is often lost and the browser won't have any reason to keep the background tab active and therefore unload it, which will not allow the hidden view to "heal" itself.

This default behaviour effectively renders any browser capabilities unusable for long running background processes. One alternative might be moving logic from the frontend to the backend, but browsers have meanwhile become a great choice for local first apps and if the browser already offers the required features easily accessible, why force developers to leave a territory they feel comfortable with?

As of now, this is only available for WebKit based browsers on iOS 17.0+,iPadOS 17.0+,Mac Catalyst 17.0+, macOS 14.0+, visionOS 1.0+ ( see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkpreferences/inactiveschedulingpolicy-swift.enum?language=objc ).

It can be assumed that it will also be implemented for WebView2 (Windows). And it might be that it's already usable for linux and android, although I couldn't find any documentation about it and also cannot test it locally due to a lack of devices.

As an alternative for windows and non-webkit browsers, one can setup a pending WebLock transaction, which, according to the docs, can also keep the browser from suspending it.

I needed to update a snapshot test and am unsure if this is at all related to this change. Please let me know if I did something wrong here.

Pending Tasks
