Two upstream fixes in phoenix_live_view squelch lingering timers and stale submits that have been biting production apps.

Phoenix LiveView shipped two targeted fixes overnight that address real-world footguns in long-lived sockets [1][2]. The first cancels infinite scroll throttle timers on hook destroy, so a pending timeout no longer fires up to 500ms after the hook is gone and pushes a viewport event for a removed element [1]. The second cancels the submit when EntryUploader.error is invoked, closing issue #4382 [2]. This is the kind of cleanup you feel when your infinite scroll gets janky or a double-submit slips through on a failed upload. Both are small, surgical changes; the Merge Queue also picked up an asset update [3]. If you're on an older LiveView patch, watch the changelog, this is the upgrade you've been waiting for.
