When calling the web inspector (whether through the menus or by pressing `F12`), it always shows up as a split pane at the bottom of the current window, with its own arbitrary sizing/positioning, which is never what I want, and it is tedious to re-place it every time.
Like other browsers, Epiphany should automatically remember and restore:
* The type (vertical vs horizontal split, vs floating window)
* The pane's position (in the case of horizontal or vertical split)
* The floating window's sizing (width and height).
* I reckon the window position can't really be remembered because that's not supported on Wayland, so I could live with that part not being remembered, but if it can be done at least for Xorg users that's a nice touch (as long as it does not end off off-screen in the case of multi-monitors vs laptop scenarios...)
I don't think I'd need per-webapp settings, probably application-wide would be OK/expected?

Tested on Epiphany 44.3, WebKitGTK 2.40.3, Fedora 38 with Wayland GNOME session
