Allow window to be closed when operating in batch mode.

Most verbs require the presence of a GUI even if not really needed.
A new option, --batch-process, allows one to force desktop windows to close
after processing actions/verbs.

Once all verbs are replaced by actions that don't require a GUI, this option can be removed.
