settings: lazy-build tabs (instant open); move connection dots beside the field; single-instance Settings dialog; Release 1.9.1

Browse Source 
- gtksettings: build each notebook tab on first view instead of all up front, so
  the dialog opens instantly (was ~1.3s building Input/Benchmark file-choosers);
  _collect() force-builds unvisited tabs before saving so no field is missed.
- gtksettings: connection dot now sits left of the URL entry (like the Engines
  tab) instead of at the far right.
- gtkui: open_settings raises the existing dialog instead of opening a second.

## [Unreleased]
## [1.9.1] - 2026-06-08
### Changed
- **Settings opens instantly.** Each tab's contents are now built the first time
you view it instead of all up front, so the dialog no longer pauses ~1.3s
constructing the file-choosers in the Input/Benchmark tabs. Saving force-builds
any tab you didn't visit first, so no field is ever missed.
- **Connection dots moved beside their field.** The Wakeword and TTS reachability
dots now sit just left of the URL entry (matching the Engines tab) instead of
at the far right of the row.
### Fixed
- **Settings could be opened more than once.** Choosing Settings while it's
already open now raises the existing window instead of stacking a second copy.
## [1.9.0] - 2026-06-08
### Added
