Subject: [PATCH] [Glic] Fix UAF and crashes in actor tools during synchronous frame detachment

This CL fixes Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerabilities and potential crashes
in several Glic actor tools (Click, Type, and DragAndRelease) that occur
when a page script synchronously detaches a frame or modifies the DOM in
response to an input event.

When these tools dispatch input events (like MouseDown or KeyDown) to
the renderer, the page may execute script that results in the
destruction of the tool object itself or its associated resources. To
handle this safely, we now:

- Use base::WeakPtr to check if the tool object is still alive after
  each synchronous event dispatch.
- Return early if the tool has been destroyed, preventing access to
  freed memory.
- Ensure that the WebWidget is re-validated where necessary.

Regression tests are added in uaf_regression_browsertest.cc using a
nested "ABA" iframe structure to reliably trigger synchronous
detachment. This suite covers the new fixes for Click, Type, and
DragAndRelease.
