restore original tl--init as tl--init-sync.

- use it for eg notifications

- this because i suspect sync is sometimes faster.
- with async init*, i often have to press a key to trigger the request
- perhaps good to have both in the code, and choose which to use when
- cd also poss make this a customize.
