Reported originally in https://github.com/firefox-devtools/debugger/issues/8106

It looks like loadSourceText can get into an unexpected state if the page refreshes while loading.

Splitting up this logic makes us less likely to introduce code that would break
the caching behavior. If you look closely at these changes, you'll notice that
there actually one one early return in this code that would cause us to
exit without clearing the 'requests' cache meaning we could get stuck in
an infinite loading state.

If users navigate while source text is loading, we need to ignore existing
cached promises because they may resolve and then not actually set the
resulting source, because the source was deleted from the source list.
We want to explicitly use a new cache entry if we have navigated.

Depends on D23451

Returning null here leaves us in an infinite loading state because null is treated as neither
success nor failure.

Depends on D23452
