Samuel Attard 3b74837020 refactor: Split 'Event' docs/types into more specific Event types (#17038) 
* Event = Base event type (with preventDefault)
* IpcMainEvent = Event that ipcMain emits (with sender, reply, etc.)
* IpcRendererEvent = Event that ipcRenderer emits (with sender,
senderId, etc.)
* KeyboardEvent = Event that we emit with keyboard flags (ctrlKey,
altKey, etc.)

This will dramatically improve peoples TS experience with IPC events

IpcRendererEvent Object extends Event

  • sender IpcRenderer - The IpcRenderer instance that emitted the event originally
  • senderId Integer - The webContents.id that sent the message, you can call event.sender.sendTo(event.senderId, ...) to reply to the message, see ipcRenderer.sendTo for more information. This only applies to messages sent from a different renderer. Messages sent directly from the main process set event.senderId to 0.
