Summary:
Changelog: [internal]

When tracing starts, the frame metrics listener only fires when new frames are rendered. This means if no UI changes occur during a trace, no screenshots are captured. This also causes the initial state of the UI to be missing from the trace.

This change captures an initial screenshot immediately when start() is called, ensuring there's always at least one frame recorded at the beginning of a trace regardless of whether UI changes occur.

The implementation also refactors the frame emission logic into a shared emitFrameTiming() method to eliminate code duplication between the frame metrics listener and the initial capture.

Backports some CDP Performance features and stability improvements to `0.83-stable`.

This includes:
- Remaining implementation of Frame Timings and screenshot capture in performance traces (Android)
- New support for Frame Timings and screenshot capture on iOS
- Optimisations to trace chunk generation, memory usage during performance recording
- `Page.captureScreenshot` (Android, iOS)

All features remain gated behind feature flags (`fuseboxFrameRecordingEnabled`, `fuseboxScreenshotCaptureEnabled`).
