Mihawk e776467e3d Game Forwarder: a deleted tile leaves the home screen seconds after RetroArch closes ...

The owner's report: tiles deleted in the page stayed on the home screen after closing
RetroArch (from the home screen, and with the picker's Quit). The console's records showed
the removals done, but late: ShadowMountPlus refuses an uninstall while a game runs, and
the WebUI's daemon only tried again at its stop, 20 s after the title closed; a title
reopened within those 20 s left them for the next close.

The daemon now tries a tile's pending work (a removal, a new name or picture) as soon as
no program of the title is linked, and every 3 s while ShadowMountPlus still refuses (the
exiting app answers "game active" for a moment); the try at the stop stays for what is
left. ps5_forwarders::finish_pending says whether anything still waits, and runs under the
WebUI's lock (the page may be open meanwhile). README: "a few seconds after RetroArch
closes".

Evidence:
- evidence/game-forwarder-delete-on-close: on the console, a tile installed, deleted
  through the WebUI while RetroArch ran ({"state":"pending"}), RetroArch closed:
  /user/appmeta/PPSA99170 gone after 3.0 s; the daemon "13:18:48 not removed yet ...
  game_active", "13:18:51 forwarder PPSA99170: removed"; ShadowMountPlus "uninstall
  requested" at 13:18:51 (before: 20 s and more).
- tests/test_webui_daemon.py test_a_tile_removal_is_done_as_soon_as_the_title_closes:
  nothing while a program is linked, the uninstall within 1.5 s of the unlink, before
  the stop (2 s in the tests); test_webui_forwarders checks finish_pending's answer.
- gates: format, unit (211 tests), build, integration (211 tests), evidence (139
  captures, 0 failed) - PASS.
