Stefan Haller a1561a5e69 Render the app status in a single background render loop
Each status used to start a spinner render loop of its own, running on
a worker that inherited the foreground/background flavor of the
status's owner, and exiting only once the entire status stack was
empty. That shape had a real bug: a foreground operation's loop could
be kept alive by someone else's status. Finish a quick operation with
a waiting status while a background fetch's "Fetching..." status is
still showing, and the operation's render loop — a foreground worker
task — keeps ticking until the fetch ends. Busy() stays true for that
whole time, so repo switching is refused even though nothing is in
flight anymore; with a fetch hanging on a slow network, that means
minutes. The shape was also wasteful: overlapping statuses were each
drawn by their own loop (plus a duplicate whenever a task was paused
and resumed while another status was showing), all redundantly
redrawing the same top status.

Replace the per-status loops with a single loop owned by the status
stack as a whole: whoever shows the first status starts it, and it
exits after drawing a final empty frame once the last status is
removed. The claim/release methods on StatusManager keep the loop
flag's transitions atomic with the stack under the one mutex, so a
status added while the loop is about to exit starts a fresh loop
instead of going unrendered.

The loop always runs as a background task now: rendering issues no
git commands, so it never needs to block repo switching, and a
foreground operation's busy-ness is already carried by its own worker
task. This is what fixes the bug above, and it retires the need to
thread a foreground/background flag through the waiting-status
helpers altogether.
