doc: fix URL postMessage example in worker_threads 
The example claimed that posting a URL object via MessageChannel would
print an empty object, but since v21.0.0 (commit d920b7c) it
throws a DataCloneError. Update the example and surrounding text to
reflect the current behavior.

Fixes: #60504

This limitation extends to many built-in objects, such as the global `URL`
object:
Some built-in objects cannot be cloned at all. For example, posting a
`URL` object throws a `DataCloneError`:

```js
const { port1, port2 } = new MessageChannel();

port1.onmessage = ({ data }) => console.log(data);

port2.postMessage(new URL('https://example.org'));

// Prints: { }
// Throws DataCloneError: Cannot clone object of unsupported type.
```
