Description
## Summary
The `init` method of `BrowserClient` is async. While the initialisation is ongoing, the application can already track events. These events will then not be processed by plugins.
With the `dispatchQ` in the `CoreClient` there is already a mechanism to buffer events. However tracked events are only put on the queue while `CoreClient` is initialising (`isReady === false`). The queue however is [processed](https://github.com/amplitude/Amplitude-TypeScript/blob/f0e35ac0700f90c38672c2bfa1c239d50c7181e2/packages/analytics-browser/src/browser-client.ts#L160) when the `BrowserClient` is done initialising.
## Motivations
In our tracking setup we have the issue that events are tracked before the `BrowserClient` is fully initialised. We rely on a custom plugin to run first to ensure user properties are populated.
