fix(plugins): sub-package reload, symlinked dev plugins, BaseException in update(), config callbacks outside the lock (#741)

* fix(plugins): drop a plugin's package modules when it unloads

A plugin that keeps helpers in a package (providers/feed.py, imported as
`from providers.feed import ...`) leaves dotted entries in sys.modules.
PluginLoader only tracked bare names: `providers` was namespaced and
dropped on unload, `providers.feed` stayed. A reload after a store update
imported a fresh `providers`, then got the old `feed` back from the module
cache, so the new manager.py ran against the old helpers until the display
restarted. A load that failed part-way left them behind the same way.
Elections (providers/), flights (enrichment/) and olympics (data/,
renderers/) ship packages.

The loader now records the dotted modules whose file (or, for a namespace
package, every __path__ entry) lies inside the plugin directory. They keep
their names while the plugin runs, as before, and unregister_plugin_modules()
drops them, only while sys.modules still holds that plugin's module. The
failed-load cleanup in load_module() drops them too.

* fix(plugins): remove a symlinked dev plugin as a link

PluginStoreManager._safe_remove_directory, behind uninstall and behind
discarding the set-aside copy after an install or update, handed a
symlinked dev plugin (scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh) to shutil.rmtree,
which refuses a symlink. The chmod fallback then walked through the link
and set every directory and file in the linked checkout to 0700, and the
sudo stage refused the resolved path as outside the plugins directory. The
removal failed, the link stayed, and the developer's checkout lost its
group/other permissions. A dangling link read as already removed, because
exists() follows it, and was left behind.

A symlink is now unlinked before any other stage runs, and before the
exists() check.

* fix(plugins): load a dev plugin linked in under a different name

contained_plugin_dir(), the containment check before a plugin's
dependencies are installed, resolved the plugin directory and looked for
the resolved folder's name among the plugins directory's entries. A dev
plugin symlinked in under its id by a name its checkout does not share --
`dev_plugin_setup.sh link-github foo <url>` clones ledmatrix-foo, the
repository naming convention, and links it as plugins/foo -- has no such
entry, so install_dependencies() returned False and the load failed with
"Dependency installation failed", even with no requirements.txt.

When the path sits directly in the plugins directory, the entry it names
(the link) is looked up first; anything else is resolved and matched by
name as before. The answer is still always rebuilt from a name os.scandir()
returned for the plugins directory, so a path outside it is still refused.

* fix(plugins): release a plugin whose update() raises a BaseException

On the async update worker, the wrapped update() finished its bookkeeping
(_finish: release the plugin lock, drop the pending slot, state back to
ENABLED) only for an Exception. asyncio.CancelledError and SystemExit
derive from BaseException, so one raised from update() skipped _finish:
the plugin kept its lock and stayed RUNNING for the life of the process,
never rescheduled, with every display() skipped as busy. PluginExecutor
caught only Exception as well, so its thread died with the call never
marked complete and an immediate failure was logged and recorded as a
timeout.

_target_update now runs _finish for any BaseException and re-raises it,
and the executor's thread stores it like any other exception, so it is
reported as the operation's failure (PluginError) on both the async and
the synchronous path. _finish and _record_update_failure take a
BaseException.

* fix(config): notify config subscribers outside the service lock

ConfigService._load_config ran every subscriber while holding _lock. The
display's per-plugin subscriber calls PluginManager.apply_config_change,
which waits up to PLUGIN_LOCK_TIMEOUT (5 s) for a plugin busy in update().
A save that enables or disables a plugin also flags a reconcile, which the
render thread runs: its get_config(), and the unsubscribe() of a plugin it
disables, both take _lock, so the panel froze behind every slow callback,
up to 5 s per busy plugin.

The config is now swapped under _lock and the subscribers are called after
it is released, from a copy of the subscriber lists. A separate
_notify_lock is held across a whole reload (read, swap, notify), so one
reload's notifications still finish before the next one's start. Each
callback is checked against the live lists just before it runs, and
unsubscribe() waits only for a call of that same callback already in
progress (unless it is that callback's own thread), so a callback it
removed is not running and will not run once it returns, as before.

- A plugin that keeps helpers in a package (elections' `providers/`,
flights' `enrichment/`, olympics' `data/` and `renderers/`) now runs its
updated helpers after a reload. Unloading dropped the package itself but
left its modules (`providers.feed`) in `sys.modules`, so the reload after a
store update imported the new `manager.py` and got the old helpers back from
the cache until the display restarted. `PluginLoader` now drops a plugin's
package modules when it unloads, and when a load fails part-way.
- Uninstalling a dev plugin that `scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh` linked
into the plugins directory now removes the link and leaves the checkout
alone. The store's removal passed the link to `shutil.rmtree`, which
refuses a symlink; its fallback then walked through the link and chmodded
every directory and file of the linked checkout to 0700, and the sudo stage
refused a path outside the plugins directory, so the uninstall failed with
the link still in place. The same removal discards the set-aside copy after
an install or update. A symlink, dangling or not, is now unlinked.
- A dev plugin linked in under a name its checkout does not share now loads.
`dev_plugin_setup.sh link-github foo <url>` clones `ledmatrix-foo` (the
repository naming convention) and links it as `plugins/foo`. The loader's
containment check for dependency installs resolved the link and looked for
`ledmatrix-foo` among the plugins directory's entries, found none, and
refused the plugin, so the load failed with "Dependency installation
failed" even when it had no `requirements.txt`. The check now looks for the
entry the path itself names in the plugins directory, the link, and still
only ever answers with an entry it found there.
- A plugin whose `update()` raises `asyncio.CancelledError` or `SystemExit`
no longer goes dark until a restart. Both derive from `BaseException`, not
`Exception`, and the update worker's bookkeeping caught only `Exception`:
the plugin kept its lock and stayed RUNNING, so it was never updated again
and every `display()` was skipped as busy. It is now recorded as that
update's failure, the same as any other raise. The plugin executor
reported such a call as a timeout; it now reports it as a failure.
- Saving a config change no longer freezes the panel while a plugin is busy.
`ConfigService` told its subscribers about a change while holding its lock,
and the display's per-plugin subscriber waits up to 5 s for a plugin in the
middle of an update. A save that enables or disables a plugin also queues a
reconcile, which the render thread runs, and its `get_config()` and
`unsubscribe()` waited behind every one of those callbacks. Subscribers now
run after the lock is released. One reload's notifications still finish
before the next one's start, and a callback `unsubscribe()` removed is not
running, and will not run, once it returns.
- A plugin whose `display()` raises now opens its circuit breaker. The first
frame of each screen goes through the plugin executor, which caught the
exception and returned False. The display read that as "no content" and
