Added new tab indication: if there was activity, but then it stopped and no changes happened for 30 seconds (may be changed in settings), tab color is changed to blue.

Highlight the title of a background tab (bold + orange) when its terminal
produces output, clearing once the tab is selected. Gated behind a new
"display-tab-activity" setting, off by default.

To avoid lighting up every tab on session restore, activity is ignored for
adjustable grace periods: a new-tab grace (default 3s) starting at tab
creation, and a shorter focus-loss grace (default 1s) when a tab loses
focus. The focus-loss grace never shortens an existing longer grace, so the
rapid switch-page cascade during restore can't clobber the creation grace.

Both periods are configurable in Preferences > General.

Fade a highlighted tab from active (orange) to stale (blue) once
tab-activity-cooldown seconds pass with no new terminal output, so
long-quiet tabs are visually distinct from tabs with fresh activity.
