Interface Launcher

public interface Launcher
Asynchronous two-phase application launcher. This interface is currently unused for JavaFX applications. It is logically-compatible with FxLauncher which in earlier versions of Supernaut.FX was a subclass.

It uses threads to start a background app as quickly as possible and possibly before the foreground app is started. This background app can make network requests while the foreground app is starting up, so that views in the foreground app can be updated with live data as soon as possible.
