jelveh 6a9c8e3ac4 feat(gui): open dashboard apps maximized in-page with minimize + single instance
Apps launched from the dashboard's Apps tab now open as maximized Puter
windows in the same page (via launch_app) instead of a new browser tab.
External website shortcuts still open in a new tab since arbitrary sites
can't reliably be iframed.

Dashboard app windows keep their minimize button (fullpage mode normally
hides it since there's no taskbar). With no taskbar item to animate
toward, hideWindow now hides the window in place and flags it with
data-minimized_in_place; showWindow un-hides it via that flag. An
explicit flag is used because data-orig-* can't distinguish the two
minimize paths - drag/maximize handlers set those attrs too.

Tiles are single-instance: clicking a tile un-hides a minimized
instance or focuses a visible one instead of launching a duplicate, and
launches in flight swallow repeat clicks.

Also fixes .window-body-app height in dashboard mode: fullpage mode
sizes it to 100% assuming no titlebar, which clipped the bottom 29px of
every app.
