Fixes #70678.\n\nKeeps quiet but healthy WhatsApp linked-device sessions connected by tracking WhatsApp Web transport activity, while retaining a longer app-silence cap so frame activity cannot mask a stuck session forever. Also cleans up transport activity listeners on failed connection-open paths.\n\nCarries forward the focused #71466 approach and keeps #63939 as related configurable-timeout follow-up. Thanks @vincentkoc and @oromeis.\n\nValidation:\n- pnpm test:serial extensions/whatsapp/src/auto-reply.web-auto-reply.connection-and-logging.e2e.test.ts extensions/whatsapp/src/connection-controller.test.ts\n- pnpm check:changed\n- codex review --base origin/main
