feat: support Document Picture-in-Picture with native Wayland windows

[D3SOX]

Description of Change

Electron does not currently create Document Picture-in-Picture windows, and Chromium treats both video and Document PiP as ordinary xdg_toplevel windows on Wayland. On KDE Plasma this can add a title bar and cannot reliably keep the PiP above other windows without a user-created KWin rule.

This change adds Document Picture-in-Picture support through the existing guest-window path and marks PiP windows through the Views/Ozone stack. When a Wayland compositor advertises the experimental xx-pip-v1 protocol, Chromium now gives the window the compositor-native PiP role; otherwise it retains the existing xdg_toplevel fallback. Both Chromium video PiP and Electron Document PiP use the marker.

KWin currently requires KWIN_WAYLAND_SUPPORT_XX_PIP_V1=1 in its environment before the Plasma session starts. The native and fallback paths have focused Ozone tests, both paths were verified against KWin, and the Electron Document PiP integration spec passes.

This PR is the OpenTubeX review base for electron#39633. A C++ contributor still needs to review the main port and take responsibility for it under Electron AI policy before anyone opens an upstream PR.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Document Picture-in-Picture support now spans WebContents lifecycle handling, BrowserWindow configuration, native Wayland role selection, bounds management, integration tests, and API documentation.

Changes

Document Picture-in-Picture

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Native PiP lifecycle and bounds shell/browser/api/electron_api_web_contents.*	WebContents recognizes the PiP disposition, enters document PiP, reports PiP display state and owner bounds, and constrains child bounds.
BrowserWindow PiP integration lib/browser/api/web-contents.ts, lib/browser/guest-window-manager.ts, shell/common/options_switches.h, shell/browser/native_window_views.cc	Browser-side window creation accepts PiP bounds and applies PiP-specific window options and initialization markers.
Native Wayland PiP role patches/chromium/...	The Chromium patch propagates the PiP marker into widget initialization, uses the experimental xx-pip-v1 role when available, falls back to xdg_toplevel, and adds protocol mocks and tests.
PiP validation and API documentation spec/fixtures/api/document-picture-in-picture.html, spec/api-web-contents-spec.ts, docs/api/web-contents.md	The fixture and spec validate PiP creation, properties, nested requests, bounds, and lifecycle behavior. Documentation lists picture-in-picture as a disposition.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 141e7

The new Wayland Picture-in-Picture support may fail to build because a generated protocol header lacks a direct GN dependency. Adding the dependency is needed before this change is merge-ready.
