Description
The two RemoteDebugger implementations - the package:webkit_inspector_protocol one and the chrome extension one - have different behavior when there are errors w/ debugger calls.
package:webkit_inspector_protocol throws a WipError instance.
The chrome extension debugger returns the raw json from the result, and call sites need to check that json for an `error` field (`handleErrorIfPresent()`).
I think we need to change the extension debugger impl to throw, delete the `handleErrorIfPresent()` function, make a pass though all the call sites - places where we'd called handleErrorIfPresent() - to make sure the error handling all makes sense.

Research direction
Locate the two RemoteDebugger implementations: package:webkit_inspector_protocol and the Chrome extension debugger. Start by tracing handleErrorIfPresent() and every call site, then compare how each implementation reports debugger-call errors. Done means the extension path follows the throwing behavior, the helper is removed, and all affected call sites still handle errors correctly.
