shell-app: Finish startup sequence for process that exit too earlyissue267

If a process associated to an application declaring StartupNotify=true
in its desktop file exits before having ever mapped a top level window,
the "remove" X message expected as per the Startup Notification Spec [1]
won't ever be issued, and the shell will keep waiting for a while until
the sequence is finished on time out.

This provides a confusing and bad experience since things like a confusing
icon + a spinner, or the mouse pointer switching to a spinning cursor, will
be showing up in the meantime, so we need to detect those situations and
make sure the sequence gets completed, and the app moved to STOPPED.
