Subject: [PATCH] [generic-sensor] Serialize Win32 sensor calls on COM STA runner

ISensor and ISensorManager COM interfaces on Windows require access
within a Single-Threaded Apartment (STA).

Previously, PlatformSensorReaderWin32 performed COM calls such as
SetProperties and SetEventSink directly from StartSensor and StopSensor
on the calling thread rather than dispatching them to the COM STA task
runner. Additionally, EventListener callbacks were not synchronized with
reader destruction, and PlatformSensorProviderWin initialized and
released ISensorManager across different sequences.

This change:
1. Marshals StartSensor and StopSensor operations onto the COM STA task
   runner via StartSensorInternal and StopSensorInternal.
2. Guards COM state in PlatformSensorReaderWin32 with a SEQUENCE_CHECKER
   on the STA task runner, including the EventListener callbacks.
3. Adds EventListener::Detach() so that active COM event sinks safely
   ignore callbacks once the reader is destroyed.
4. Encapsulates ISensorManager within base::SequenceBound<ComStaHelper>
   in PlatformSensorProviderWin to guarantee lifetime management stays
   on the STA thread.
5. Introduces ScopedPlatformSensorReaderWinBase, a unique_ptr whose
   base::OnTaskRunnerDeleter is bound to the reader's own STA runner, so
   a reader is always destroyed on the sequence its posted tasks run on.
   This also fixes the same latent use-after-free in
   PlatformSensorProviderWinrt.
6. Suppresses start failures that a concurrent StopSensor() has already
   superseded, so stopping a sensor mid-start no longer raises a
   spurious error.
7. Adds a shared IsValidSensorFrequency() helper in sensor_traits, used
   by both PlatformSensorWin::CheckSensorConfiguration() and
   PlatformSensorReaderWin32::SetReportingInterval().
8. Uses base::test::TestFuture to deterministically coordinate
   asynchronous operations across sequences in unit tests without
   RunUntilIdle.

Two behavior changes are worth calling out.

The Win32 reader's StartSensor() now always returns true. The COM work
it used to perform inline happens on the STA runner, and producing a
meaningful return value would require blocking on that runner, which is
what this change sets out to avoid. Win32 COM setup failures are
therefore reported asynchronously through Client::OnSensorError() rather
than by failing AddConfiguration(). The web facing effect is that
Sensor.start() resolves and is then followed by an error event, instead
of the configuration being rejected outright. This matches how the
Android and Linux readers already behave. The WinRT reader is unaffected
and still fails synchronously.

Dropping the InitSensorManager hop also drops the ISensorManager
availability check that used to gate the LINEAR_ACCELERATION and GRAVITY
fusion sensors. Those types now go straight to
PlatformSensorFusion::Create, matching PlatformSensorProviderWinrt and
the Linux and Android providers. The observable result is unchanged,
since both fuse from ACCELEROMETER, whose creation still fails when
ISensorManager is unavailable.
