Handle "Program switcher", "<none>" etc. better #10

These are currently counted against the default budget. Closing them doesn't really work and doesn't do any harm, but pops up irritating dialogs.

"MainWindow" and "Program Manager", which are always open, are now skipped. But the alt-tab switcher is called "Programmumschaltung", i.e. it is localized.

Empty window titles occur only when nothing is running at all. They need to be inserted to create a timestamp to compute the previous windows' interval, but need to be ignored in calculations.

This is fixed by skipping windows by process name (IGNORE_PROCESSES).
