Fix dispatch issues for actions pre windowReady

Fix #10866

Changes in this PR:
- Browser process now registers the process right away for the
  dispatcher..
- Callbacks are registered from the window store.
- Waits until the window is ready before dispatching, queues up messages
  sent before this.
- No extensions.createTab will be issued before a window is ready.
