[Bug]: Codegen's Clear button doesn't work if not recording

[ruifigueira]

Version

1.49.0

Steps to reproduce

• Launch npx playwright codegen
• Record a few steps
• Stop recording
• Click Clear button

Expected behavior

Should clear recorded actions

Actual behavior

Doesn't clean recorded actions. Besides, if recording is enabled again, it keeps the same actions but cleans them as soon as we record a new one.

Additional context

RecorderCollection.restart() clears its internal actions but only fires a change event if enabled, and when recorder is not recording, it is disabled, and that causes Recorder not to be notified of those changes. Those events are only sent when another action is recorded.
