cypress fix: move main tab activation to puppeteer plugin

Closes https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/28392

Additional details

Previously, we were attempting to activate the main tab before and after every command. This required the Chrome extension to be loaded and enabled, and was only useful for users who were leveraging the Puppeteer plugin. If the extension was disabled or disallowed by policy, commands would cause the runner to hang even when the Puppeteer plugin was not in use.

This PR moves tab closing behavior into the Puppeteer plugin itself, and adds some support logic to the driver and extension in order to accommodate the logic happening in a Cypress plugin rather than in the browser.
