Bernardo Magri 386da51178 fix(waybar): SIGUSR2 reload to avoid surface-recreate ghost on theme switch ...

Theme-switching ran systemctl --user restart waybar.service, which tears
down waybar's wayland layer-shell surface and creates a new one
back-to-back. Hyprland needs a frame to clear the destroyed surface; the
new instance attaches its surface immediately, so for a frame or two the
old waybar pixels remain visible behind/under the new bar - the
"artifacts and old colors on top of new" symptom most visible on the
fresh compositor of the live ISO.

Switch to SIGUSR2 reload, which makes waybar re-read config.jsonc and
CSS (including @import-ed files like ~/.config/nomarchy/current/theme/
waybar.css that theme-switch rewrites) without destroying the surface.
Full systemctl start is kept for the cold-start case.

Drive-by: replace the `systemctl list-unit-files` presence check with
`systemctl cat` - list-unit-files returns 0 even on no-match, so the
old check would always pick the systemctl branch and never fall through
to the pkill fallback on systems where waybar isn't a systemd unit.
