UI overhaul, VPN management, controlsd fix, screen recorder removal

- Fix controlsd crash: self.state.name AttributeError when state is int - Move telemetry tlog import to module level in carstate.py (was per-frame) - Remove FrogPilot screen recorder from UI (was crashing OMX on init) - Ready screen: boot logo background, 8-bit READY! sprite, error states (panda not connected, car not recognized) with 10s startup grace period - ClearPilot menu: always opens to General, QButtonGroup for sidebar, System Status uses ButtonControl, VPN toggle with process control - Sidebar hidden on construction (no flash before splash) - Status window: threaded data collection (QtConcurrent), panda detection via scene.pandaType (SPI, not USB), only refreshes when visible - VPN: moved to system/clearpilot/, SIGTERM graceful shutdown, keepalive ping through tunnel, killall openvpn on disable, launched from launch_openpilot.sh instead of continue.sh - Disable gpsd and dashcamd temporarily for perf testing Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
