1823714 - Test storage.session is preserved when we restart the extension process, including for non-event pages

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(WebExtensions :: Storage, task, P2)

Description

[Tomislav Jovanovic :zombie]

Move the in-memory session storage to the parent process, so that it can survive the extension process getting killed on android.

Add a test that actually kills the extension process.

The way we actually landed the implementation made this test less critical, but could still be useful, especially to verify the behavior with persistent background pages is the one we want: namely the storage should still be preserved.

Also adding dev-doc-needed, because this might be surprising behavior (just like most things when we restart a "non-restartless" background page).
