This PR changes the IPC mechanism to always support the custom-protocol and postMessage variants. The frontend now handles the custom protocol fetch call failing (usually due to CSP or webview denying access to the protocol) and fallbacks to the postMessage API).
The fixes for #7662 (#7751, #7754 and #7764) are still valid.
This is a more generic approach to #8887
