Closes #6801 (Issue where game becomes a Background Task after closing)

Description

This PR fixes 'ghost' background processing upon closing the game.
(For some odd reason BG Threads (e.g., VLC or Discord) aren't always shutting down properly when the window closed).

Key Changes

  • Added an exit listener to lime.app.Application.
  • Included a Handle.dispose() call for hxvlc and discord_rpc to clean up video and rich presence resources.
