Initial loading spinner runs forever

If desktop cannot connect to the backend, we should show an error after some period of time, prompting the user to reload/restart.

Right now, the initial splash screen loading spinner just shows forever if the backend is not available.

This still happens when running desktop in dev mode without first running qri connect.

Just to add some information here, had the same thing happen couple days ago on 0.4.0. The behavior was linked to me "fred"ing myself. The config registry.location was set to something on 127.0.0.1:xxxx. The quick remedy is to run qri config set registry.location https://registry.qri.cloud. Hopefuly an unreachable host in this scenario is the only thing triggering it.

Also just to be complete, these all overlap I think:
