[wasm][debugger] Tests: Spawn MonoProxy in a separate process to avoid excessive memory usage for tests

[radical]

Some debugger test runs randomly get aborted on CI. See #89409

Running GetPropertiesTests in codespaces reveals that the RES memory usage of the process keeps increasing, reaching ~10G in 5mins. This suggests a memory leak.

Looking at the test process with dotnet dotnet-counters monitor --refresh-interval 1 -p ...:

One potential solution, and a good thing to do anyway would be to spawn MonoProxy in a separate process, for which we already have wrappers. Right now, we instantiate MonoProxy for each test in the same test process which is overkill and not representative of user scenarios.

	_debuggerProxy = new DebuggerProxy(loggerFactory, loggerId: Id, options: options);
	TestHarnessProxy.RegisterNewProxy(Id, _debuggerProxy);
	var browserUri = new Uri(con_str);
	WebSocket? ideSocket = await context.WebSockets.AcceptWebSocketAsync().ConfigureAwait(false);
	await _debuggerProxy.Run(browserUri, ideSocket, cts).ConfigureAwait(false);
	}
