inspectHooks/inspectHooksOfFiber default currentDispatcher to
ReactSharedInternals, and shared/ReactSharedInternals imports React — so bundling
them drags all of React in, even for callers that always pass the renderer's
injected dispatcher (e.g. react-devtools-facade).

Extract the shared logic into private inspectHooksImpl / inspectHooksOfFiberImpl,
which require an explicit dispatcher and never reference ReactSharedInternals.
inspectHooks and inspectHooksOfFiber keep their existing behavior as thin
wrappers that supply the ReactSharedInternals default. Add exported
inspectHooksWithoutDefaultDispatcher and
inspectHooksOfFiberWithoutDefaultDispatcher that delegate to the Impls directly,
so a bundle importing only them references no React.
Move getDispatcherRef out of backend/fiber/renderer.js into
backend/shared/DevToolsReactDispatcher.js and import it back. This lets other
consumers (e.g. react-devtools-facade) reuse the renderer-dispatcher adapter
without importing the whole renderer module.
Introduces react-devtools-facade, a private, source-only library of building
blocks for querying React runtime state.

This first commit adds installFacade(target): it installs only
__REACT_DEVTOOLS_GLOBAL_HOOK__ (the global React looks for at init) and returns
a Facade handle {hook, fiberRoots, rendererInternals, profilingState}. It
installs no tool globals — integrators (e.g. a chrome-devtools-mcp package)
compose the Facade into tools and decide what to expose.

Its tests rely on the devtools build/dev setup, so the package is excluded from
the general test runners and runs only under the build-devtools jest project —
matching react-devtools-shared and react-devtools-extensions.

Tool building blocks and a createTools(facade) assembler land in follow-ups.
Adds the component-tree building blocks and the createTools assembler.

createTools(facade) reads the facade's tracked state and returns the tools
object (no globals): getComponentTree, getComponentByLabel, findComponents,
getComponentSource, getOwnersStack, getOwnersBranch. Tools return typed plain
JavaScript values (see DevToolsFacadeTreeTools); serialization is left to the
integration package.

getComponentByLabel includes the component's props and, for function
components, its inspected hooks tree, obtained via react-debug-tools'
inspectHooksOfFiberWithoutDefaultDispatcher with the renderer's injected
dispatcher (normalized by getDispatcherRef), so the facade never falls back to
(and bundles) React's shared internals.
Adds the profiler building blocks to createTools: startProfiling,
stopProfiling, getTraceOverview, getCommitReport. A profiling session records
per-commit render timing (via the hook's onCommit/onPostCommit, wired in the
scaffold commit) and reports per-component actual/self durations, sorted
descending. Tools return typed plain JavaScript values; serialization is left
to the integration package.
Adds cross-cutting tests that exercise the tools across multiple React roots:
- inject() registers additional renderers and initializes their internals
- getComponentTree and findComponents aggregate across roots with globally
  unique labels
- getComponentByLabel resolves labels from any root
- profiling records one commit per root with correctly attributed components

Completes the react-devtools-facade building-block package.
installFacade previously threw if __REACT_DEVTOOLS_GLOBAL_HOOK__ was already
present, so the facade could not be used on a page that has the React DevTools
browser extension (or any other DevTools backend) installed.

Now, when a hook is already installed, installFacade attaches to it instead of
replacing it: it back-fills the renderers and fiber roots the hook is already
tracking, and wraps the hook's inject / onCommitFiberRoot / onPostCommitFiberRoot
(always calling through to the originals) so future renderers, commits, and
passive passes also feed the facade's fiberRoots / rendererInternals /
profilingState. When no hook is present it installs its own minimal hook as
before. The shared commit- and renderer-bookkeeping is factored into helpers
used by both paths.
