enricobuehler 20f766799c feat(plugin-kit): cap fs-change syncs to one per interval — a debounce cannot bound a launcher that never stops writing
The Skynet field log carried `plugin:steam sync (fs-change): reconciled
16 entries` 102 times in 27 minutes: Steam writes to its dirs the whole
time a game runs, and every write re-walked the library. The 3 s
`Stream.debounce` collapses a BURST, but a debounce extends on every
event and so cannot bound the RATE under sustained churn.

`SyncSettings.minInterval` (default `DEFAULT_FS_CHANGE_MIN_INTERVAL` =
30 s; `LibraryPluginDef.minInterval` to override) sits on top of the
debounce: debounced events land in a sliding queue of one, and a drain
loop syncs, then holds for the interval. Changes inside the hold coalesce
into exactly one trailing sync, so nothing is lost and a launcher in a
writing frenzy costs one re-walk per interval instead of one per quiet
gap. Optional on `SyncSettings`, so plugins built against the older kit
keep compiling.

Test drives real `fs.watch` on a temp dir: 28 writes at 25 ms clear a 20 ms
debounce every time and would be ~28 syncs; with a 400 ms interval they
are three, at +32 / +433 / +835 ms.

Not here: narrowing the Steam plugin's watch set (`steamapps/` +
`libraryfolders.vdf`, not `userdata/`/`logs/`) lives in the steam plugin
repo; and the host-side reconcile coalescing during a session is optional
— the kit cap is the lever.
