Waybar SEGVs in Glib::DispatchNotifier::pipe_io_handler when the MPRIS
module is enabled. The crash is intermittent because it requires a race
between signal emission and object destruction: a playerctl GLib signal
callback (e.g. onPlayerPlay) calls dp.emit(), which writes a pointer to
the Dispatcher into an internal pipe. If the Mpris object is destroyed
before the GLib main loop reads that pipe entry, pipe_io_handler
dereferences a dangling pointer. This typically occurs when a media
player appears or vanishes on D-Bus (browser closing, player quitting)
or during waybar shutdown/config reload.
The root cause is that ~Mpris() calls g_object_unref() on the manager
and player GObjects without first disconnecting the signal handlers that
hold raw `this` pointers. If playerctl holds additional references to
these GObjects, they survive the unref and can still fire signals
targeting the already-destroyed Mpris instance.
Adopt the same cleanup pattern used by the Wireplumber module: call
g_signal_handlers_disconnect_by_data() to sever all signal connections
referencing `this` before releasing the GObjects with g_clear_object().
This guarantees no callbacks can enqueue stale Dispatcher notifications
after teardown begins.
Additionally:
- Clean up old player in onPlayerNameAppeared before replacing it,
fixing a GObject leak and accumulation of dangling signal connections
- Remove duplicate onPlayerStop signal registration (copy-paste bug)
This commit addresses memory churn caused by implicit deep copies during traversal and allocation of complex structures:
- Replaced pass-by-value 'Json::Value' in std::ranges and range-based for loops with 'const auto&' or 'const Json::Value&' in Hyprland modules, preventing large JSON tree duplications on every update.
- Fixed implicit string and pair copies in UPower and CPU Frequency loops by converting 'auto' to 'const auto&' where possible.
- Added 'std::vector::reserve' calls before 'push_back' loops in MPRIS, Niri, and CFFI modules to prevent exponential vector reallocation during initialization.

This reverts commit 2d33c20231 and
reapplies various patches for memory leaks.
The reason for the revert was a bug for a maximum duration interval
which caused sleep_for() to cause unpredictable behavior.
In all other places, the norm is to use `on-click-(middle|right)` but in
the mpris module, `on-(middle|right)-click` was being used which caused
clicks to malfunction if set to some custom commands
This commit allows better handling of ordering and exclusion of the tags in Dynamics tags.
It also becomes possible to choose the separator between the tags.
There were two main issues with fmtlib and C++20 mode:
- `fmt::format` defaults to compile-time argument checking and requires
using `fmt::runtime(format_string)` to bypass that.
- `std::format` implementation introduces conflicting declarations and
we have to specify the namespace for all `format`/`format_to` calls.
