[DevTools Bug]: Electron support broken in 4.27

[Kilian]

Website or app

Electron.js

Repro steps

React devtools 4.27 no longer works in Electron[1] because chrome.scripting isn't implemented, which it started using due to the manifest v3 upgrade: #25145

When opening React devtools 4.27 in any Electron project (installed with `electron-devtools-installer for example) you'll see that the devtools panel is shown but no React components are ever found. Earlier versions worked well with Electron

[1] electron/electron#36545 and MarshallOfSound/electron-devtools-installer#232

Ah I see. I'll try implement a fallback logic and release a fix.
