fix(display): end the scroll state at scroller-to-static handovers (#716)

A static plugin screen that follows a scroller no longer starts with the ticker's lagging rows on scan-compensated panels, and the 1 Hz loop's second frame is no longer recorded as a ~1 s mid-scroll freeze / Render stall. The display controller calls DisplayManager.end_scroll_for_static_screen() before a static screen's first display() (clears the scan history; _scan_segments passes its frames through in one swap) and set_scrolling_state(False) after it; the scroller's hold stays until then, so late-frame counts are unchanged. A screen's first frame is tagged 'handover': gaps of 250 ms or more before it go to the additive handover_freezes (frame_soak prints 'Handover gaps'), not freezes. The display thread is named display-<plugin id>. The WiFi notice and the schedule-off blank are not covered yet (docs list them as a follow-up).

ledpi A B B A soak (20 min each, --preview): main 0.118% / 0.113% late with 6 / 3 freezes; with this and #717 0.107% / 0.104% late, 0 freezes.

first display() drawing. Counted here instead of under
freezes. Stats from a service older than this count have no
such line, and their freezes include these, so do not
compare freeze counts across that change.
