Fix Cmd+Q on macOS leaving the desktop app alive

The before-quit handler preventDefaulted on every quit and re-fired
app.quit() from .finally. That re-entered Electron through the
window-all-closed gate, which on macOS is a no-op listener that
vetoes the quit — so the window closed but the process stayed up.

Use app.exit(0) to bypass the close → window-all-closed → will-quit
chain entirely. Also drop the daemon-stop NSAlert: with no parent
window it ran app-modal and stalled the child-process pipes for
'paseo daemon stop', so daemon shutdown waited on the user dismissing
the dialog. Replace it with an in-app overlay rendered in the renderer
via a paseo:event:quitting IPC event. Stop opening DevTools on dev boot.
