ci: add headless smoke + screenshot test for the bar

Launch the real Waybar binary inside a headless, software-rendered sway
compositor and verify it actually runs and renders — something the unit
tests and build jobs never do.

- test/smoke/run.sh: boots sway (WLR_BACKENDS=headless, pixman), starts
  waybar, asserts it stays alive with no fatal log, optionally grabs a
  screenshot with grim
- level 1: real modules (clock/cpu/memory/disk) load without crashing
- level 2: deterministic config is screenshotted and checked to be non-blank
- level 3: screenshot compared to test/smoke/reference.png (fuzz 8%,
  800px tolerance); screenshot + diff uploaded as artifacts
- .github/workflows/smoke.yml runs it on push/PR

The reference image must be blessed from a CI artifact (see test/smoke/README.md).

// Deterministic Waybar config for the CI smoke/screenshot test.
// Uses only static custom modules (interval "once") so the rendered bar is
// reproducible and can be compared against a reference image.
