feat($rootScope): Implement stopPropatagion for $broadcast events

$scope.$broadcast dispatches an event to all child scopes by traversing the scope tree in a
depth-first manner. This change allows any scope to prevent it's children from receiving that
event by calling stopPropagation on the event object. Other listeners on the scope which called
stopPropagation will continue to receive the event, as will siblings of that scope and any
children of those siblings.
