 Bootstrap/Load: Introduce a recovery mode for fixing fatal errors.

 Using the new fatal handler introduced in [44962], an email is sent to the
 admin when a fatal error occurs. This email includes a secret link to
 enter recovery mode. When clicked, the link will be validated and on
 success a cookie will be placed on the client, enabling recovery mode for
 that user. This functionality is executed early before plugins and themes
 are loaded, in order to be unaffected by potential fatal errors these
 might be causing.

 When in recovery mode, broken plugins and themes will be paused for that
 client, so that they are able to access the admin backend despite of these
 errors. They are notified about the broken extensions and the errors
 caused, and can then decide whether they would like to temporarily
 deactivate the extension or fix the problem and resume the extension.

 A link in the admin bar allows the client to exit recovery mode.

 Fixes #46130, #44458.
