Remove landing view

A dedicated xapp called thingy is taking care of that now. https://github.com/linuxmint/thingy Other than the fact that thingy will do more and be faster to develop, this also fixes a huge performance issue. The xreader landing page actually opened each document (i.e. loaded all of its content) just to generate a thumbnail. With a few mangas in the recent list of opened documents this meant xreader took up to 4 or 5 minutes to actually load when no URI was specified. Thingy just relies on Gio to load thumbs and opens instantly.
