internal: (studio) initialize cloud studio asynchronously

[astone123]

• Closes https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-services/issues/10650

Additional details

We'd like to know how many people are using Cypress Studio today. This PR does a few things:

• Always load cloud bundle for Studio (so that init event is captured)
• Make Studio loading async so that it doesn't block project opening
• Create StudioLifecycleManager to handle accessing Studio

Steps to test

Ensure that studio still loads correctly - the cloud studio panel should still load when you pass the correct environment variables, and it should not when these variables are not provided.

Check the tests that I added that verify that the cloud code to collect telemetry is always called when Studio loads even if AI is not enabled.

How has the user experience changed?

Users shouldn't notice any changes to how Studio works today - the external user experience should remain unchanged.

PR Tasks

• Have tests been added/updated?
