fix(plugins): fix skipped-frame health/force_change tracking, config validation, and lock-lifetime gaps in async updates

Addresses PR #407 review findings:
- display_controller: only clear force_change / record health success
  when display() actually ran this frame, not when the frame was skipped
  because the plugin's lock was busy (a skip must preserve a pending
  mode-switch force_clear).
- plugin_manager: replace bool() coercion of synchronous_updates with
  explicit isinstance validation of plugin_system/synchronous_updates,
  failing safe to synchronous mode (with a logged reason) on malformed
  config instead of silently defaulting to async.
- plugin_manager: _update_worker_loop now acquires the plugin lock before
  looking up its instance and re-checks under the lock, so an unloaded
  plugin's lifecycle state is never resurrected to ENABLED.
- plugin_manager + display_controller: move lock ownership (and, for
  updates, RUNNING/pending lifecycle bookkeeping) into the actual update()/
  display() call itself rather than the timeout-wrapped caller, so the
  lock stays held for the real operation's duration even after
  PluginExecutor's own join(timeout) elapses and a lingering daemon thread
  keeps running in the background.
- DisplayController.cleanup() now stops the update worker before tearing
  down display/cache resources; stop_update_worker() logs when the join
  times out instead of failing silently.
- test_async_plugin_updates: rewrite test_unloaded_while_queued_is_harmless
  to exercise the public unload_plugin() lifecycle (via a deterministic
  blocker) instead of deleting pm.plugins directly, and add a regression
  test proving the plugin lock stays held through PluginExecutor's own
  timeout while the real update() call is still running.
