perf(dashboard): draw at 0.1s only while the dashboard is visible
Conky gives Lua no way to request one redraw, so a scroll showed up to 2s late. Pointer enter and leave, which Hyprland sends on every toggle of the special workspace, now switch conky_set_update_interval between 0.1s and the config's 2s. At that rate the CPU and network counters would sample over 0.1s windows and the chart would fill 20x faster, so both now sample through data.new_gate on the /proc/uptime clock, about every 2s, and redraw their last values in between. The samplers move to texeci: execi runs in the main loop and a 0.7s nvtable or an Immich download stalled the scroll. Measured: about 12% of one core while visible, 0.5% while hidden.
