Summary:
Flipper Electron delegates to the Launcher if it is found right on startup to fetch the most recent/compatible version of Flipper. The Launcher then opens the downloaded app with a `--no-launcher` option to avoid bouncing back and forth between the Electron app and the Launcher.
This depends on the argument processing working unchanged. In the past this has been somewhat difficult to guarantee as this doesn't happen in one place and dev/prod builds have handled arguments different due to Electron weirdness (requiring a `--` passed in, for instance).
If anything here goes wrong, we end up in a very nasty scenario where the launcher and the Electron app rapidly open and close, making it nearly impossible for users to escape that vicious cycle. `pkill -f Flipper` being the best option, if you can focus a terminal for long enough.
In order to avoid this from ever happening in the future, this introduces a quick check for the last startup is written with a timestamp and if this is less than 5s in the past, we will skip delegating to the Launcher altogether, keeping the current instance running.

Summary:
Changes where we delegate to the launcher to a later point so we can successfully intercept file open events and custom URI events.
