apps: Fix status page glitch on initialization

Matthijs Velsink requested to merge velsinki/gnome-control-center:fix-applications-glitch into gnome-45

For an unknown reason, the AdwNavigationSplitView loading takes some time, in which the Apps panel is not yet initialized. During that time, the top item of the GtkStack, namely the No Apps AdwStatusPage will show. This appears glitchy.

To work around this, make the first item of the GtkStack a "fake" empty GtkBox that can show instead of the AdwStatusPage.

Fixes #2665 (closed)

Before
Screencast_from_2023-11-23_02-12-07

After
Screencast_from_2023-11-23_02-11-38

Now, I do not know if and how to properly fix this on the Adwaita side perhaps, but since this is for Gnome 45 only, I am not sure a proper fix is worth is. This workaround is simple.
