Drop the splash screen
The thread sanitizer reveals that a data-race condition occurs when the splash window is sleeping (#810), which has proven difficult to fix. Given we don't have a solution for achieving a data-race-free splash screen, the second best option is mitigation through elimination. So, the splash screen will be removed to ensure a data-race-free startup.
