On a hot path, the probe can record every hit and require
filtering afterwards. This patch adds a per-probe `--cond <expr>`
option that allows limiting the hit to only when the expression
is truthy at the probe location. V8 evaluates it as the breakpoint's
native condition, so the target is not paused when it does not hold,
and a condition that throws is treated as false. Since in CDP,
a location can only carry one breakpoint per URL pattern,
probes sharing a location must share one condition (or none).
Conflicting conditions are rejected.
Example:
```js
// app.js
let total = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
total += i; // line 4
}
```
```
$ out/Release/node inspect --probe app.js:4 --expr 'total' \
--cond 'i % 3 === 0' app.js
```
```
Hit 1 at file:///path/to/app.js:3:3
total = 0
Hit 2 at file:///path/to/app.js:3:3
total = 3
Hit 3 at file:///path/to/app.js:3:3
total = 15
Hit 4 at file:///path/to/app.js:3:3
total = 36
Completed
```

This option provides a new way of terminating the probing by
specifying a limit for the per-probe hit evaluation. When any
probe reaches the limit, the session removes the V8 breakpoints
and finishes with a `completed` terminal event rather than waiting
for the target to exit or timeout. This would be useful when we
provide a way to attach to and probe a running process in the future.

- Add `--help` / `-h` to `node inspect` covering both interactive and
non-interactive probe modes. The help text is printed when
`--help`/`-h` appears before any positional argument to avoid
hijacking `--help` passed to a child script.
- Improve the documentation of probe mode and add examples, explain
same-location probe coalescing, TDZ caveat for let/const bindings,
basename matching and exit code behavior. Also move it to a
section parallel to interactive mode. Remove recommendation of
evaluating structured expressions as that is prone to missing
info in JSON mode.
Drive-by: When probe mode exits due to invalid arguments, exit with
`kInvalidCommandLineArgument` (9) instead of `kGenericUserError` (1).

Add a non-interactive probe mode to `node inspect` for inspecting
runtime values in a run-to-completion application. This allows
users to perform printf-style debugging without having to modify
the application code and clean up afterwards, it also supports
structured output to be consumed by tools.
Probe mode launches the application, sets one or more source
breakpoints, evaluates one expression at each hit, and prints a
single text or JSON report when execution ends.
Interface:
node inspect [--json] [--preview] [--timeout=<ms>] [--port=<port>]
--probe <file>:<line>[:<col>] --expr <expr> ...
[--] <script> [args...]
Example:
```js
// cli.js
let maxRSS = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
const { rss } = process.memoryUsage();
maxRSS = Math.max(maxRSS, rss);
}
```
```
$ node inspect --probe cli.js:5 --expr 'rss' cli.js
Hit 1 at cli.js:5
rss = 54935552
Hit 2 at cli.js:5
rss = 55083008
Completed

Add an ExitCode enum class and use it throughout the code base
instead of hard-coding the exit codes everywhere. At the moment,
the exit codes used in many places do not actually conform to
what the documentation describes. With the new enums (which
are also available to the JS land as constants in an internal
binding) we could migrate to a more consistent usage of the
codes, and eventually expose the constants to the user land
when they are stable enough.

By default, the debugger would query the specified inspector
sever port to see if it's available before starting the server,
and it would keep retrying until a timeout (previously 9999 ms)
is reached. This timeout seems to be longer than necessary. This
patch decreases the timeout to 3 seconds.
