Subject: [PATCH] Remove unused IsRefreshingFiles state

GetIsRefreshingFiles() is never called anywhere in the codebase, so the
flag serves no purpose. Remove it from Gui, StateAccessor, and
IStateAccessor, and drop the two SetIsRefreshingFiles calls in
refreshFilesAndSubmodules that maintained it.
