Add note about dependency injection in BrowserWindowOpener JavaDocs (#11495)

If BrowserWindowOpener is used with constructor using Class<? extends UI> as parameter, it will have UI provider with generated url. This will not match UI beans in contextual storage and hence newly created UI will not be managed bean. Due this, injection to new UI instance will not happen. If you are using CDI , BrowserWindowOpener(String) constructor needs to be used.
