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 from
the list when set to null. Adds a shell boolean config option (default
true). Setting it to false hides the shell session from the list,
following the same pattern as xinitrc.
