For web apps, Web-Server is picked over Chrome by default #2453
Description
Not sure if this changed recently, but for web apps when there's only Chrome + Web Server, it seems to default to Web Server which is not what most people want.
We can handle this with an exclusion in Dart-Code, though I wonder if it's worth addressing in Flutter. We currently have an ephemeral boolean that lets us prefer devices that are explicitly connected, but maybe there should also (or instead) be a priority, and we only switch if the newly connected device is >= the priority of the current device?

Is the order of returned devices used? It's not great, but I can document and test this

Yeah, right now they come through in this order:
When the first device comes through (web-server), we select it because we don't have any other device. When the second device (Chrome) comes through, we do not select it because we already have a selected device and the new device is not marked ephemeral.

I've put specific handling in here for allowing Chrome to override Web-Server when it's added. If we get something better in Flutter, I can remove it in future - but since a Flutter stable release with any change is likely some way off, having it in the next release here seems worthwhile.
