Restore from minimized: Configurable avoid async Git

Add an experimental setting to not run git-ls-files when the
window is minimized on activation, as async commands when
minimized seem to block the app from being restored.

Rename configuration added in gitextensions#10119 to
deactivate at upgrade as this setting may give a negative
experience after gitextensions#10802 mostly fixes the problem.
