jelveh a22321daa2 Dashboard: closing a launched app goes home, not into its launcher
An app launched by another app minimizes its launcher (iOS-style
takeover). Closing the child then popped onto the launcher's history
entry, and the popstate handler restored it — so quitting an app threw
the user into a different full-screen app they had not asked for, zoom
animation and all. Closing an app should go home.

Mark the launcher when it is minimized FOR a child
(data-minimized_for_child). If it still carries that mark when the child
closes, the close's single history hop lands on the dashboard instead:
the entry is rewritten to the dashboard's route and the launcher is left
minimized, still running behind its tile's running dot. No extra history
traversal — the joint session history an app's iframe shares is exactly
what pop_dashboard_app_url's watchdog exists to survive, so the hop
count is unchanged.

Back is untouched and still returns to the launcher — that is the
navigation gesture, whereas close dismisses. Any restore (Back, tile
click, Forward) clears the mark, so quitting a child after the user has
brought the launcher back leaves the launcher alone.
