desktop: settings search finds rows, and a hit reveals its row

Search used to stop at the page: clicking a result opened it at the top
and left the setting to be found by eye. Now each settings module keeps
its rows as searchItems, {text, key}, reread on every window open since
the page itself is not loaded until shown: git runs gitcfg list, and
autostart watches its file. A row hit opens the page, and Page.reveal()
finds the row whose objectName is the key, waiting up to 3s for the
page's own data, scrolls to it and flashes it in the accent. The reveal
lives in Page, so a page only names its rows.

Git's long keyword list was a stand-in for exactly this and is cut to
"gitconfig". The autostart page takes its path from the module now that
both read the file.

Also corrects the AGENTS note on missed hot reloads: it blamed sed -i
replacing the file, but the Edit tool writes a new inode too and usually
reloads. The cause is unknown; the note now says how to detect it and
that a process that stops watching needs a restart.
