Subject: [PATCH] Fix opening projects (#10433)

#### Tl;dr
- Closes: enso-org/cloud-v2#1338
This PR fixes bugs with opened projects. Now all projects close/open properly and list of opened projects stored in the single place

---

#### Context:
Few sentences on the high level context for the change. Link to relevant design docs or discussion.

#### This Change:
What this change does in the larger context. Specific details to highlight for review:
1. Removes a bunch of useEffects across the Dashboard page
2. Project status now a react-query state, can be reused across the app
3. Eliminated the need of `waitIntilProjectIsOpened`
