Fix ghost drive letter after CLI dismount (GH #337, GH #1426) (#1658)

Browse Source 
When dismounting via CLI (/d /q /s), SHChangeNotify is called without
SHCNF_FLUSH flag, making it asynchronous. The process exits before
Explorer processes the notification, leaving a phantom drive letter
visible in Explorer as an inaccessible Local Disk until reboot.

Add SHCNF_FLUSH in Silent (CLI) mode to force synchronous shell
notification processing in both single-volume (UnmountVolumeBase)
and dismount-all (DismountAll) code paths. The flush is only added
in CLI mode to avoid adding latency to interactive GUI operations.
