Ensure calling webview.send will not block the renderer

When the browser process is busy, calling webview.send (a method that appears
on its face to be non-blocking) will actually block, because most webview methods
are remoted to a guest view instance in the browser. Instead, define a few methods
which will instead send its call over an async IPC message.
