Objects cannot be copied from console debugger or logged into console using JSON.stringify()

[krisidmisso]

Description

Objects cannot be copied inside the console debugger (Chrome inspect/DevTools). Even console.log(JSON.stringify(object)) doesnt log the correct string. Both methods copy or log just the first character{ or [

Tried also upgrading RN but the issue is the same as it was for some other versions previously. May be related to https://github.com/facebook/hermes/issues/761

Steps to reproduce

1. New RN project
2. Start metro with --experimental-debugger (react-native start --experimental-debugger)
3. Run i or a (doesnt matter)
4. After app is opened, press j in the metro terminal to open the debugger or go to chrome://inspect#devices like in the docs
5. console.log an object. Ie: console.log({a:1, b:'string', c: 'test'})
6. Try to copy the logged object from the debugger console. Paste it in any text editor or input and see the issue
