Update Network Sentinel to 1.1.0

This update adds a new Network Doctor diagnosis feature along with several fixes:

New features:

  • Network Doctor: one-tap diagnosis of common connectivity problems
  • DNS benchmark to compare resolver latency
  • Speed test now uses curl (fixes SSL failures with the previous approach)
  • Wi-Fi signal strength card with visual signal bars
  • Replaced raw HTML <select> elements with Decky DropdownItem for proper gamepad navigation

Fixes:

  • Runaway CPU/memory usage: get_network_status no longer blocks the event loop and results are cached
  • Auto-start effect guarded so it no longer fires repeatedly
  • Settings persistence fixed (DECKY_SETTINGS_DIRDECKY_PLUGIN_SETTINGS_DIR)
  • History panel button overflow fixed
  • UI spacing improvements

Hi, bumping this for review.

v1.1.0 update: adds Network Doctor diagnosis, DNS benchmarking, curl-based speed test (fixes SSL failures), Wi-Fi signal bars, and Decky DropdownItem for gamepad nav. Also fixes the CPU/memory event-loop block, repeating auto-start effect, settings persistence bug, and history panel overflow.

Could the loader team take a look when possible? Thanks!
