Implementation of close event of MessagePort API #21964
Description
Proposal
There was no timely and reliable way to detect when a MessagePort becomes disentangled, which made it difficult to release resources associated with ports.
We proposed to add a close event to MessagePort API.
The close event has landed to the HTML spec. Chrome has already completed implementation and it’s close to ship.
