Performance metrics: Differentiate requests that are from page load (#24327)

* POC page_load_context header

* refactor to make this.pageLoadContext a private field, and relocate setTimeout code

* add pageLoadContext to `ObserveAPIEndpointDuration` method

* move to telemetry_actions

* move PageContext constant in webapp

* give server control of possible page_load_context values

* variable name change
