nvrl 48c8910e7b fix(gui,core): ask the mount off the main thread when opening, reap children
Opening a file or a location stat'ed the mount on the GTK main thread, so
a hung mount hung the app. The browser now uses the launcher's bounded
worker check (`present_within`, 2 s), and opening a location runs on a
thread. Every child the GUI starts is also waited for on a thread, so it
no longer stays a zombie (B243).
