Populate AppInfo.applicationVersion field properly

FYI. The current function that determines the IE version no longer retrieves the correct version with IE 10, because that version of IE has changed the way it records the version in the registry.

It can come as a command line parameter when the engine is started, like the browser locale. However, given that the engine is really a broker process for the various browser processes, I wouldn't get too religious about this.
