desktop-pwas: Add shortcuts even if there is no browser window

Some clients like Default Apps and Policy Apps install apps without
a Browser window. Some steps can be skipped for these clients, like
sending the install event to the page, but other are needed for
example creating shortcuts.

Changes BookmarkAppHelper to not return early if there is no Browser
window but still skip some unnecessary steps.

Adds a PrefChangeRegistrar to WebAppPolicyManager that listens for
changes to the policy. This way the policy-installed apps will update
whenever the preference changes and not only during startup.
