[Win32] Fix BrowserFunction missing on first page

[HeikoKlare]

Fixes #3370 — the sporadic failure of test_BrowserFunction_availableOnLoad_concurrentInstances_issue20 on the Edge/WebView2 backend.

Builds on top of #3478 (BrowserFunction dispose/redefine regression tests) and employs the regression tests added there — #3478 should be merged first.

Problem

A BrowserFunction created while an Edge browser is still initializing (with a navigation queued via setUrl/setText) could be missing on the first loaded page. AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated was issued only after the queued navigation and raced with document creation, so the function was sometimes not registered when the page's document was created — surfacing as SWTException: <function> is not defined.

Fix

Register the document-created scripts of all pending BrowserFunctions inside WebViewProvider.initializeWebView(), before completing the initialization future (which synchronously runs the queued navigation). This is the only point that is reliably "after init, before the first navigation", since the CompletableFuture navigation chain cannot be preempted retroactively.

Registration is now issued asynchronously: what makes a function land on a page is issuing the registration before the navigation is issued to WebView2, not waiting for its completion. This also removes the previous inCallback > 0 deferral (an async call cannot deadlock inside a WebView2 callback) and the separate synchronous registration method, leaving a single registration method and a single branch in createFunction. deregisterFunction stays correct for a registration whose script ID has not arrived yet (its async completion detects the removed function and removes the script itself).

Tests

Adds regression tests for function creation during concurrent initialization: creating a function from inside a callback, availability before the first page's inline scripts run, and multiple functions registered before initialization completes. These complement the dispose/redefine regression tests from #3478.

Reproducer

The underlying race is a sub-millisecond window and cannot be forced deterministically through the public API with a single browser. The following standalone reproducer makes it deterministic in practice by stressing concurrent initialization: before the fix it reports options is not defined within a few iterations; after the fix it completes all iterations cleanly.

/**
 * Standalone reproducer for the Edge/WebView2 BrowserFunction registration race fixed by this change.
 *
 * <p>A {@link BrowserFunction} created while a {@link Browser} is still initializing (and while a
 * navigation queued via {@code setUrl}/{@code setText} is pending) must be available on the first
 * loaded page. Before the fix, {@code AddScriptToExecuteOnDocumentCreated} was issued <em>after</em>
 * the navigation, so it raced with document creation and the function was sometimes undefined,
 * producing {@code SWTException: options is not defined}.
 *
 * <p>The underlying race is a sub-millisecond timing window, so it cannot be forced deterministically
 * through the public SWT API with a single browser. This reproducer makes it <em>deterministic in
 * practice</em> by stressing the exact scenario: it creates several browsers that initialize
 * concurrently (their initialization pumps the shared event loop and perturbs each other's timing),
 * repeated over many iterations. Before the fix it reports failures within the first few iterations;
 * after the fix it completes all iterations with zero failures.
 *
 * <p>Run it standalone via {@link #main(String[])} on Windows (Edge backend), or call
 * {@link #reproduce(Display, int, int)} from a test.
