fix(app): the claim on the data folder never stops a start, and is given up when no window came of it

From the review of #217. This code runs at every start, before a window or the log exists. - The event that asks the open window to come to the front may be taken by something this process cannot use (a gclo that runs elevated made it) or that is no event. That ended the start with an unhandled exception. The claim now stands as the lock file says and only the request is not made; whatever else fails while the claim is made, the window opens without one. - A window that could not be made gives the claim up: the process can live on without a window, and every later start would have ended at once with nothing to bring to the front. - A request to come to the front that arrives while the window closes is dropped, and is queued on the dispatcher captured at start, not read from a window that may be gone.

From the review of #217. This code runs at every start, before a window or
the log exists.

- The event that asks the open window to come to the front may be taken by
  something this process cannot use (a gclo that runs elevated made it) or
  that is no event. That ended the start with an unhandled exception. The
  claim now stands as the lock file says and only the request is not made;
  whatever else fails while the claim is made, the window opens without one.
- A window that could not be made gives the claim up: the process can live
  on without a window, and every later start would have ended at once with
  nothing to bring to the front.
- A request to come to the front that arrives while the window closes is
  dropped, and is queued on the dispatcher captured at start, not read from
  a window that may be gone.
