Accurate CPU usage on devices that pin their clocks

On some devices, LineageOS Echo Shows and ThinkSmarts among them, the CPU usage sensor sat at a flat 100% most of the time. The reading was estimated from how fast the cores were clocked, and those devices park their clocks at full speed even when idle, so the number said everything and meant nothing.

Usage is now measured from how much of the time the cores actually spent idle, which is what utilization really is, and it understands cores that the device parks entirely: a parked core counts as free capacity instead of masquerading as a pegged one. On an Echo Show 5 that used to read 100% around the clock, it now reads under 10% while idle, rises to about 80% during a voice interaction, and falls right back after. Devices that were already reporting correctly keep reporting the same numbers.

This fixes the CPU reading everywhere it appears: the Home Assistant sensor, the Device Info tab, and the health endpoint.

Dismissing the screensaver no longer flashes a scrollbar

The reveal now suppresses it, and scrolling by hand still shows the scrollbar as always.
