[address-book] is stuck on contacts sync dialog & becomes unusable

[Olga Kemmet]

build 143
To reproduce this bug the address book app has to be launched for the first time.

Steps to reproduce

1. wipe your device if necessary
2. launch the address book app and wait until the "You have no contacts" dialog comes up
3. do not interact with the dialog and navigate away from the app
4. launch the dialer or/and the messaging app
5. open the app spread from the right edge and force close the address book app
6. navigate to dialer (or messaging) app and save a contact from the main view
7. now open the address book again and try to interact with the "You have no contacts" dialog

Expected behaviour: you will either be able to dismiss the dialog or sync contacts

Actual behaviour: you won't be able to tap anything or interact with the address book because the dialog is not dismissible.

The interesting thing here is that it is possible to access the address book and contacts from the dialer and messaging app but not directly.

Marking as "Critical" because the address book becomes completely unusable even if you restart your device.

use this bug not the dupe

Verified the fix using these steps:
SUMMARY:
If a user adds a contact using the dialer-app before launching the address-book-app for the first time, it is then not possible to dismiss the "You have no contacts" dialog when launching address-book-app from apps scope or launcher.

It is only possible to launch the address-book-app using the contacts icon in dialer-app/messaging-app. - This way it doesn't show the dialog.

STEPS:
1) From fresh flash or reset, launch dialer-app
2) Enter a telephone number into the dialer
3) Press the add contact icon (on left of phone number)
4) Choose "+ Create New" option in address-book-app
5) Enter contact name and save contact
6) Close dialer app and address book app
7) Launch address-book-app from apps scope or launcher
8) Try to dismiss the dialog saying "You have no contacts ..."

ACTUAL RESULT:
It is now not possible to dismiss the "You have no contacts" dialog. The address book app cannot be launched from apps scope or launcher, even after rebooting.
It is only possible to open address-book-app from the contact icon in the dialer-app/messaging-app.

EXPECTED RESULT:
As there is now 1 contact, the dialog saying "You have no contacts" should not be displayed and address-book-app should be loaded as normal.
