inspector: use js_app.html as the landing page for chrome devtools

As of this commit in chromium - https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/905450 a new landing page (js_app.html) has been added and the existing inspector.html has been made as the fallback page.

Another motivation for this patch is the following bug in chromium - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=846642 due to which, source maps won't get applied with inspector.html, but works with js_app.html

In order to maintain compatibility, this patch adds a URL "devtoolsFrontendUrlCompat" to the response of /json/list REST API so that those using Chrome browsers older than 66.0.3345.0 could use this to open DevTools.
