[Bug]WSL repository tab is automatically closed when WSL is not running #2846

Description

@JannisRln

I usually keep a repository located inside WSL open as a tab in Fork.

When I start Fork while WSL is in a shutdown state, the repository tab is automatically closed because the repository path is not accessible. As a result, I have to manually reopen the repository every time.

I think it would provide a better user experience if Fork kept the tab open and displayed a message such as:

Repository folder is currently not accessible.

The tab should not be removed automatically just because the repository is temporarily unavailable.

Expected behavior
Keep the repository tab open when the WSL filesystem is currently unavailable.
Show an error or placeholder page indicating that the repository folder cannot be accessed.
Once WSL is running again, allow the repository to be loaded again, for example by pressing F5 / Refresh.
Current behavior

If Fork is started while WSL is shut down, the tab for the WSL repository is automatically closed and has to be reopened manually.
