Turn on the singleInstance application config on in the default case. Invoking theia a second time will open a new window in the first instance when singleInstance === true. If a workspace directory is given as the first position argument, this workspace is opened, otherwise an empty window is opened.
Fixes #10890

How to test
Invoke theia via theia electron start multiple times and with or without parameters. Make sure an independent instance is started when singleInstance is off. I use theia electron start and start the electron back end in the debugger to verify the behavior.
