feat: link the conky bin dir, and restart conky silently

bin/ holds the weather fetch script that conky.text runs on an execi, so
it needs the same symlink treatment as lib/ and widgets/.

The restart now goes through hyprctl with `[workspace special:dash
silent]`. The dashboard's window rule puts it on that workspace but
cannot suppress the switch to it, so before this every reinstall threw
the dashboard up over whatever was on screen. Guarded by a check for a
running Hyprland, falling back to a plain exec elsewhere, since the
workspace rule is the only reason hyprctl is involved.
