Batch wireguard update operations

Avoid invalid disconnection notifications in case the closed race dials.
In this PR resolve multiple race condition questions. Easier to understand the fix based on commit by commit.

- Remove store dependency from notifier
- Enforce the notification orders
- Fix invalid disconnection notification
- Ensure the order of the events on the consumer side
