Desktop: Fix frontend message response dispatch (#3247)

* One annoying debugging session later

Discovered that the editor handles frontend messages differently from other messages.
It requires all frontend messages to be fully processed before dispatching any resulting messages.

In the web frontend, this behavior happened implicitly because message dispatch is queued at the current end of the JavaScript execution queue.
For the desktop frontend, I added a vector to collect all responses until the entire batch of frontend messages is handled, and then dispatch them afterwards.
