The inspector help message pointed to https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector
which returns a 404. Updated to https://nodejs.org/api/inspector.html.

  • src: update URL in inspector_socket_server.cc
  • doc: update example output in inspector.md and debugger.md
  • test: update response pattern in test-inspector-help-page.js

Fixes: #62743
