After login succeeds, switch to the splash view with a 'Loading library...'
message and progress bar before running ShellViewModel.InitializeAsync().
This gives immediate visual feedback instead of leaving the user staring
at the login screen wondering if the app has frozen.

- Initialize ShellViewModel fully before switching CurrentView in all paths
(splash→shell, login→shell, offline→shell). Previously the UI rendered
with uninitialized child ViewModels causing race conditions.
- Hide download queue panel entirely when no items (removes confusing
'No active downloads' panel and empty header on first login)
- Collapsed download progress only shows when there's an active download
