Remote native debugging Playground with web debugging doesn't work anymore #5112

Description

@kmelmon

We added some support for remote debugging the Playground app, see:
https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/wiki/VS-Remote-Debugging

However this technique doesn't work anymore. I debugged this and found two issues:

  1. The privateNetworkClientServer capability isn't turned on in Package.appxmanifest
  2. The client code is failing to connect due to using localhost:8081. It looks like we're missing the plumbing code that was originally added to HostingPane, which is no longer being used in Playground.

We should find a way to re-enable this. We should also think about how to enable remote debugging for CLI apps when we fix this - ideally whatever we do would also work for template apps.
