An unsubmitted form is a signal that the user is still working on the page, we should give those pages high priority on Android so that we keep them around as long as possible.
We could also have a timeout of a few minutes in case the user does not intend to return to it.

This problem will be worse with Fission when tabs can run in separate processes.

Geckoview should expose an API that returns a bool whether or not there is uncommitted form data, so that Fenix can set any GeckoSessions to HIGH priority.

GeckoView provides an API containsFormData(), where the parent process queries the child process for any existing session form data using SessionStoreUtils and returns a GeckoResult<Boolean> whether or not there is form data.
