Subject: [PATCH] fix(welcome): ask to remove a recent project whose folder is
 gone (#2131)

Opening a recent project whose folder no longer exists reported the failure as a
notification, which is not shown when the system group's balloons are off, and the
welcome screen has no list to find it in, so the click did nothing. It now opens a
dialog offering to remove the entry. The open failure's kind is also read from the
raw error the trust check rejects with, so a missing folder is no longer reported as
a generic failure.
