* feat: support chrome.storage.sync in extensions

Register a ValueStoreCache for the SYNC settings namespace from
ElectronExtensionsAPIClient::AddAdditionalValueStoreCaches. Until now
Electron never overrode that hook, so StorageFrontend only knew about
LOCAL (and the in-memory SESSION area) and every chrome.storage.sync
call failed with '"sync" is not available in this instance of Chrome'.

ElectronSyncValueStoreCache mirrors Chromium's LocalValueStoreCache but
uses settings_namespace::SYNC, which gives it its own LevelDB directory
under the partition path (kSyncExtensionSettingsDirectoryName), so sync
and local never alias. It enforces the chrome.storage.sync quotas from
extensions/common/api/storage.json (QUOTA_BYTES 102400,
QUOTA_BYTES_PER_ITEM 8192, MAX_ITEMS 512); the per-minute and per-hour
write limits are already applied to kSync by storage_api.cc. There is
no sync service in Electron, so the area behaves like Chrome with sync
disabled: a second local store with no cross-device sync.
chrome.storage.managed stays unsupported because there is no policy
source to back it.

This answers the question raised on #53995 about supporting
chrome.storage instead of dropping sync from the test fixture.

* fix: include value_store_factory.h in ElectronExtensionsAPIClient

The linux-x64 and linux-x64-ubsan builds failed compiling
electron_extensions_api_client.cc:

  ../../base/memory/scoped_refptr.h:398:6: error: member access into
  incomplete type 'value_store::ValueStoreFactory'
  ../../base/memory/scoped_refptr.h:405:6: error: member access into
  incomplete type 'value_store::ValueStoreFactory'
  note: in instantiation of ... requested here
    electron_extensions_api_client.cc:97:39:
      new ElectronSyncValueStoreCache(factory);

AddAdditionalValueStoreCaches copies the
scoped_refptr<value_store::ValueStoreFactory> into the new
ElectronSyncValueStoreCache, which instantiates AddRef/Release on the
pointee. extensions_api_client.h and electron_sync_value_store_cache.h
only forward-declare ValueStoreFactory, so the translation unit needs
the full definition. Include components/value_store/value_store_factory.h
the same way chrome_extensions_api_client.cc does.

* test: use vitest matchers in chrome.storage.sync spec

main dropped chai in favour of vitest's own matchers and now lints
against chai-style chains, so convert the chrome.storage.sync spec's
assertions to the equivalent vitest matchers.
