[FL-3270] Loader refactoring, part 1 (#2593)

* Loader: menu part
* Settings: remove unused loader api
* Desktop: get loader from record_open
* CLI: remove unneeded loader api
* gitignore: ignore .old files
* Loader: now really a service
* Loader: working service prototype
* Loader: cli, system start hooks
* CI/CD: make happy
* Loader: autorun
* Loader: lock and unlock
* Loader: rearrange code
* Gui, module menu: fix memleak
* Updater test: add timeout
* added update timeouts and max run duration
* Github: revert updater test workflow changes
* Loader: less missleading message in info cli command
