remove window flicker [CPP-744] [CPP-752] (#560)

* remove window flicker

+ Hides the winit window, otherwise on windows you see this window
  briefly pop-up then disappear before the splash screen shows up

+ Falls back to 20,20 as the position if a monitor can't be fetched
  instead of erroring out

* try other things to make sure the initial window doesn't show up

* attempt to make positioning of splash on wayland work

* remove println

* disable wayland to center the splash screen

* remove resize, reduce code

* reorder

* Increase init size to 1x1.
