Uses QLocalServer to listen for new instances starting. If a new instance successfully connects to the running instance, the new instance quits and the existing instance will show the main window. Future improvements could allow a remote app to control the running instance, e.g send a command to show the settings or quit. Fixes #23

This PR adds a QLocalServer to the launcher. When a new instance starts, it attempts to connect. If it successfully connects, the running instance will show the main window and the new instance will close without doing anything.
Fixes #23
