Subject: [PATCH] config: add shell option to hide the shell session

The shell session is unconditionally added to the session list with no way
to hide it. This is inconsistent with xinitrc, which is omitted when set
to null. Adds a shell boolean config option (default true) that hides the
shell session when set to false.
