Updating the frontend assets

The compiled assets for the debugger frontend are periodically checked into this package under the dist/ folder. To update these, run node scripts/debugger-frontend/sync-and-build from the root of your react-native checkout.

# For main
node scripts/debugger-frontend/sync-and-build --branch main

# For stable branches (e.g. '0.73-stable')
node scripts/debugger-frontend/sync-and-build --branch 0.73-stable

By default, this will clone and build from facebookexperimental/rn-chrome-devtools-frontend.
