Subject: [PATCH] Block WebSocket and WebTransport connections in MHTML documents

MHTML documents are intended to be strictly sandboxed and isolated from
the network. However, WebSockets and WebTransport both connect directly
to the browser process via Mojo, bypassing the renderer-side resource
fetcher network isolation.

This CL adds browser-side verification to CreateWebSocketConnector and
CreateWebTransportConnector in RenderFrameHostImpl. Requests originating
from MHTML documents now correctly trigger a bad Mojo message and
terminate the requesting renderer process.

Added regression integration tests to verify WebSocket and WebTransport
bindings are successfully blocked and terminated.
