Refactor IPC dispatching (#39)

* Add broadcasting endpoint & dispatch ipc event

* Inject Native helper object in browser window

* Strip leading slashes before matching event name

* added event name as second callback parameter

* Dispatch events via notifyLaravel util to also menubar windows

* refactor - use the same util for all ipc events
