Do not reopen Project explorer on startup

See original GitHub issue

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Close Project explorer pane
Close Spyder
Open Spyder

What is the expected output? No Project explorer

What do you see instead? Project explorer is back, however the corresponding checkbox in Projects drop-down menu is unchecked

Please provide any additional information below I don’t know if it’s a bug or a feature. Anyway, Spyder should not decide for me what to see. Exists since 3.2.4 at least.

I think doing the same as we do for the Outline panel means that we do not automatically close the Project Explorer panel when a project is closed; instead we leave the Project Explorer panel empty. Conversely, if a project is opened, the Project Explorer is not automatically opened.

On reflection, I think @CAM-Gerlach 's idea in https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/6292#issuecomment-360354115 is better: when closing a project, remember if the Project Explorer was open. When opening a project, only open the Project Explorer if it was open the last time that a project was closed.
