onhighlighted

The only event from the tabs API that is not instrumented is onhighlighted. It is challenging to add at the moment because the event potentially applies to more than one tab.

So @Jyyjy can you elaborate the actual issue ?

In background.ts, almost all events from the js tabs API are captured and logged. Except onhighlighted because onhighlighted is an event that happens to a list of tabs. Meanwhile other tab events only happen to a single tab.

The problem is that the functions expect an event to happen to a single tab. The two approaches to resolve it are to either create separate logs for each highlighted tab. Or put the information of all the tabs into a single log.
