- Replaced pass-by-value std::string parameters with const std::string&
or std::string_view to prevent SSO overallocations.
- Refactored static mapping functions in UPower to return
std::string_view instead of constructing std::string literals, enabling
perfect cache locality.
- Optimized string concatenation in hot loops (network IPs, inhibitor
lists, sway window marks) by using std::string::append() and
pre-reserving capacity instead of overloaded operator+ which produces
temporary heap instances.
These optimizations reduce high-frequency memory churn and overall heap
fragmentation within the main rendering loops.

SafeSignal could queue events forever when worker threads emitted faster than
the main loop could consume, which risks memory growth and stale updates.
I added a queue cap with a drop-oldest policy so growth stays bounded under
burst load, plus a regression test that validates bounded delivery.

Implement a wrapper over Glib::Dispatcher that passes the arguments to
the signal consumer via synchronized `std::queue`.
Arguments are always passed by value and the return type of the signal
is expected to be `void`.
