@wordpress/data: Introduce new custom useDispatch react hook

packages/data/CHANGELOG.md

 ### New Feature
 
 - Expose `useSelect` hook for usage in functional components. ([#15737](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/15737))
+- Expose `useDispatch` hook for usage in functional components. ([#15896](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/15896))
 
 ### Enhancements
 
 - `withSelect` internally uses the new `useSelect` hook. ([#15737](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/15737).  **Note:** This _could_ impact performance of code using `withSelect` in edge-cases. To avoid impact, memoize passed in `mapSelectToProps` callbacks or implement `useSelect` directly with dependencies.
+- `withDispatch` internally uses a new `useDispatchWithMap` hook (an internal only api) ([#15896](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/15896))

+<a name="useDispatch" href="#useDispatch">#</a> **useDispatch**
+
+A custom react hook returning the current registry dispatch actions creators.
+
+Note: The component using this hook must be within the context of a
+RegistryProvider.
+
+_Usage_
+
+This illustrates a pattern where you may need to retrieve dynamic data from
+the server via the `useSelect` hook to use in combination with the dispatch
+action.
+
+```jsx
+const { useDispatch, useSelect } = wp.data;
+const { useCallback } = wp.element;
+
+function Button( { onClick, children } ) {
+  return <button type="button" onClick={ onClick }>{ children }</button>
+}
+
+const SaleButton = ( { children } ) => {
+  const { stockNumber } = useSelect(
+    ( select ) => select( 'my-shop' ).getStockNumber()
+  );
+  const { startSale } = useDispatch( 'my-shop' );
+  const onClick = useCallback( () => {
+    const discountPercent = stockNumber > 50 ? 10: 20;
+    startSale( discountPercent );
+  }, [ stockNumber ] );
+  return <Button onClick={ onClick }>{ children }</Button>
+}
+
+// Rendered somewhere in the application:
+//
+// <SaleButton>Start Sale!</SaleButton>
+```
+
+_Parameters_
+
+-   _storeName_ `[string]`: Optionally provide the name of the store from which to retrieve action creators. If not provided, the registry.dispatch function is returned instead.

-In the majority of cases, it will be sufficient to use only two first params passed to `mapDispatchToProps` as illustrated in the previous example. However, there might be some very advanced use cases where using the `registry` object might be used as a tool to optimize the performance of your component. Using `select` function from the registry might be useful when you need to fetch some dynamic data from the store at the time when the event is fired, but at the same time, you never use it to render your component. In such scenario, you can avoid using the `withSelect` higher order component to compute such prop, which might lead to unnecessary re-renders of your component caused by its frequent value change. Keep in mind, that `mapDispatchToProps` must return an object with functions only.

-_Note:_ It is important that the `mapDispatchToProps` function always returns an object with the same keys. For example, it should not contain conditions under which a different value would be returned.

 _Parameters_
 
--   _mapDispatchToProps_ `Object`: Object of prop names where value is a dispatch-bound action creator, or a function to be called with the component's props and returning an action creator.
