📄 Description

Ctrl + Backspace was mapped to response.erase, which clears the response.
I removed this binding so Ctrl + Backspace follows the usual behavior of deleting the previous word, which is how it works in most browsers.
Fixes #5967

Summary by cubic

Restores default Ctrl+Backspace behavior and improves browser network error messages with a CORS hint when the cause is unknown. Fixes #5967.

Bug Fixes
- Removed ctrl-backspace -> response.erase binding in hoppscotch-common so Ctrl+Backspace deletes the previous word.
- When a browser network error has no cause, show a CORS hint; added i18n text and updated the browser interceptor to use it.

^{Written for commit 288afba26a. Summary will update on new commits.}
