Prevent launching of Windscribe if `-silent` is passed on the command-line #30

Currently, the installer launches Windscribe after the installation process has completed even when the -silent flag was passed on the command-line. This prevents the installer from easily being used in package managers such as chocolatey (I am the maintainer of the Windscribe chocolatey package): The installation process hangs as the Windscribe application is still open.

Not launching the application after the installation process when -silent is provided would prevent ugly hacks such as waiting for a set period of time and then killing the Windscribe application.

Hi. Thanks for the feature request. We've added it to our engineering board.

We've added a command-line parameter to prevent automatic app launch after install. The new build (v2.5.1) is available in our guinea pig channel.
