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.
