Lorenzo Blasa 2858259497 Launch early, even if not ready
Summary:
Flipper Launcher downloads, unpacks, launches Flipper, and closes itself.

This is fine except for the fact that Flipper may be initiating and thus there's a gap of a few seconds until engineers see the main Flipper UI.

This change improves this by launching earlier, even if just showing a loading page until Flipper is actually ready.
