fix(home): relaunch waybar on monitor hotplug instead of SIGUSR2 reload

A real DP/HDMI unplug makes Hyprland tear down the layer-shell surfaces on
the surviving monitor and not recreate them, so waybar and the wallpaper
vanish there. A SIGUSR2 reload rereads waybar's config but does not
recreate a bar that was already destroyed, so it left the laptop bar gone.
Kill and restart waybar instead — a fresh process enumerates the current
outputs and draws a bar on each — and add a settle delay before re-pushing
the wallpaper so it lands on the settled geometry. Verified against a real
DP-1 unplug: the LVDS-1 bar and wallpaper survive.
