Description
Currently, when quitting a streaming session via key combo (gamepad or keyboard), Moonlight immediately closes the connection and exits, leaving the remote server in an unstable state because GFE doesn't free/close any audio/video resources on abrupt disconnection. One can return the server to normal by manually sending a quit app request from Moonlight after closing the session.
In this PR, I'm adding a new option named quitappafter that allows Moonlight to automatically send a quit app request to the server before terminating the streaming session so GFE cleans gracefully. This is implemented in a very similar way to the same option found in Moonlight-QT:
https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt/blob/master/app/streaming/session.cpp#L580
Like in Moonlight-QT, the option is disabled by default (keeping current behaviour) and the user can either enable it via command-line option or in a configuration file.
This PR has been tested and working very well on my end.
Purpose
Allow moonlight to automatically send a quit app request to the remote server before terminating the streaming session on quit, so GFE also terminates gracefully and restores audio/video settings on server.
