Add Lifecycle State monitoring and manipulation to chrome devtools>Application

Project Member Reported by fmea...@chromium.org, Jun 28 2018

Issue description

Recently, we have introduced PageLifecycle  a notion of page lifecycle state for the web.
https://wicg.github.io/page-lifecycle/spec.html

Most of the transition of the pages are decided by the browser, so web developers cannot easily test their applications for different lifecyle states.

Web Developers now can use the chrome://discards UI to change some of these states, but it would be better if it is included in the DevTools-Application tab instead.

Parts of the PageLifecycle is already exposed via the RDP protocol.

@panicker: is this something your team would want to do or is it low pri atm?
Thanks for checking in.
It is relatively high priority to actually support automated testing - captured in crbug/837709 (I'll add you to a thread where we are discussing the infra changes needed there, would appreciate your input).

I think this bug primarily captures DevTools support for what is already possible from chrome://discards. This issue is low priority, unless we hear otherwise from web devs.

We can re-file it when it becomes interesting again.
