Bug: fix BigInt in copyElementPath in react-devtools

See original GitHub issue

This is a continuation of an previous issue to add support for the BigInt data type in React DevTools.

Original PR https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/17233 (merged)

This happens when you try to copy a BigInt value to clipboard via React DevTools.

Would @nutboltu mind taking a look?

@nutboltu: This issue is all yours! 😄

I’ve added the “good first issue (taken)” label so that others will know not to start work on the issue. If you change your mind about the issue, no worries! Just let me know so that I can remove the label and free it up for someone else to claim.

Cheers!
