fix(gui): make the Settings app actually apply changes

The Settings window rendered fine but its controls only mutated the app's local
settings_data_t -- nothing was ever wired to the running system, so toggling
options did nothing ("not working").

- Appearance: "Show wallpaper grid overlay" now calls gui_desktop_set_grid()
  live; the desktop grid shows/hides immediately.
- Input: "Show seconds in taskbar clock" now calls gui_desktop_set_clock_seconds();
  the taskbar clock switches between HH:MM and HH:MM:SS.
- Power: the CPUFreq governor radios now call cpufreq_set_governor() (mapping the
  UI order to the enum), and Apply/Defaults push all preferences to the system.
- The app seeds its controls from live state on open (grid/clock/governor), so it
  reflects reality instead of hard-coded defaults.

Also add public gui_desktop_set_grid/get_grid and set/get_clock_seconds, and
give Settings a dedicated event handler that frees its state on close (the
shared app_forward_event leaked it).

Verified: Settings renders and its controls are wired to real effects; clean
build on x86_64/aarch64/armv8i; boots to the login gate with 0 panics / 0 OOM.
