docs: settle the vm tile's cold state on drawer open
The vm module's service is lazy, so the tile had no state to show before its page had been visited. One `virsh list` when the drawer opens fixes that for the cost of a single call; the per-VM polling for guest-agent stats and managed-save detection still waits for the page, which is where the expense actually is.

The tile shows a status dot. Since the service sleeps while the page is closed,
-the tile needs some state to show: either a neutral dot until the page has been

-page does. The latter is preferred and will be settled during implementation.

`vms_dots.sh` stays on waybar, unchanged and outside the shell, so nothing
loses glanceable VM state when the in-shell service sleeps.
