[client] Create GUI windows on demand and destroy them on close (#7096)

The main and Settings windows were created at startup and kept alive hidden on close, so an idle tray held two webview processes for surfaces the user may never open. Both are now built on first show and destroyed on close, which takes the idle footprint on macOS from ~160 MB to ~74 MB.

The WindowManager owns creation: it rebuilds the main window on the next show and hands out live pointers, since a stored one goes stale. Every show is deferred until the frontend reports it has rendered, so a freshly created window is never on screen empty, with a timeout so a frontend that never reports cannot strand a window hidden.
