1730108 - Introduce a test to track memory while opening and closing the browser console

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Console, task)

Description

[Alexandre Poirot [:ochameau]]

Similarly to bug 1727571, we should probably have a test covering leaks happening after a browser console close.
We should ensure that everything is cleared when the Browser Console is closed.
It may also highlight some code that keeps running even after the tool is closed.

The test currently reports 55657 objects being leaked on mozilla-central.
This is slightly reduced down to 55161 objects when applying all patches described on bug 1682212 comment 47.
And no improvement are reported from patch of bug 1729925, which are too specific to the inspector and toolbox.
I imagine we may also benefit from having a copy of browser_allocations_reload.js to track the console leaks.
