[webstorage] storage event should be dispatched async

The storage event currently seems to be dispatched synchronously. Together  
with the storage mutex this easily creates a deadlock:

   Window A (origin x):

   localStorage.x = "foo"

   Window B (origin x):

   onstorage = function(e) { print(localStorage.x) }

We think it should be dispatched asynchronously therefore.
