Add Normal/Balanced/PowerSaving power mode to SettingsData with persistence and system power profile synchronization support.
Disable M3 elevation, parallax live source and reduce blurMax (96→48) when PowerMode is PowerSaving to reduce GPU overhead.
Relax high-frequency timers to reduce CPU wake-ups: - groupsDebounce 16→50ms, DankSeekbar 80→200ms, scrollTimer 50→150ms - Disable DankAlbumArt blob animation entirely in PowerSaving
Add Normal/Balanced/PowerSaving button group in Typography & Motion tab before Animation Speed, allowing users to switch PowerMode directly.
Only instantiate enabled desktop widgets instead of creating all and hiding disabled ones, reducing startup overhead and memory usage.
- WallpaperBackground: halve textureSize for all ShaderEffectSources (less VRAM) - PowerMenuModal: holdTimer 16→32ms (slower hold-to-confirm) - DgopService: active polling 3000→5000ms (less frequent process stats)
- Add 75ms debounce for app search queries (Controller) - Precompute normalized fields on desktop entry change (AppSearchService) - Cache query results with version-based invalidation (AppSearchService) - Skip fuzzy matching when already at max results (AppSearchService)

Motivation
DankMaterialShell has significant GPU and CPU overhead from shader effects, high-frequency timers, and continuous background monitoring. This PR adds a centralized PowerMode system to make the shell viable on low-resource hardware (2GB RAM, weak CPU).
