[dev] As a dev I want to distinguish between first and other browser windows

[kittaakos]

Describe the request

Why?

IDE2 can start with multiple browser windows when restoring all opened sketches. By default, the same frontend application loads in each browser window; hence the same logic runs. Running the same logic in each browser window is sometimes an undesired behavior. For example, when notifying the user about a new IDE2 version or asking the user to participate in a survey must happen in the first window.

Describe the current behavior

The current code handles "the first window" workaround in different ways. See here and here. This is a working solution, but adding a boilerplate service every time with a boolean flag can be generalized.

As a dev, I would expect to do something like this in the future:

@inject(WindowService) private readonly windowService: WindowService:

// later in code:
onStart(): void {
  this.windowService.isFirstWindow().then((first) => { if (first) { /* ask survey*/  }  );
}

In IDE2, we can customize the existing WindowService and extend it.
