"all notifications have disappeared" step is fragile when network is unplugged

It relies on the fact that the notification applet is there. When we boot with network plugged, the (persistent) Tor is ready has to be here so we’re fine. However, when booting with network unplugged, we can’t rely on that, so instead we rely on subtle timing between the previous step (“the Tails desktop is ready”, where we do more and more things) and the timeout of the “started in VM” notification. The changes brought to fix #11398 (closed) trigger this latent bug, that could hit us any time we add more stuff to “the Tails desktop is ready”.
