[ma-ram-monitor@lanote] Update to v1.0.7: Async refactor

[notoyeah]

Summary

Complete refactor of the RAM monitor to improve performance and system stability.

Changes

• Implemented asynchronous file reading (load_contents_async) to prevent UI freezes.
• Optimized /proc/meminfo parsing.

Tested on Cinnamon 6.6.6 - works stable and non-blocking.

Pull request overview

Refactors the Cinnamon “Moderately Advanced RAM Monitor” applet to fetch /proc/meminfo asynchronously, aiming to reduce UI blocking during periodic updates, and updates related metadata/translations for the v1.0.7 release.

Changes:

• Refactored the applet UI/rendering to use an explicit St.Label and async /proc/meminfo reads (load_contents_async + async/await).
• Updated versioning/metadata to v1.0.7 and refreshed translation template + PO references.
• Minor styling and README updates to reflect the new async implementation.

• _update_loop() calls the async _update_ui() without awaiting it, so if file I/O ever takes longer than the refresh interval (or settings changes trigger extra updates), multiple overlapping updates can be in-flight at once and complete out of order. Consider ensuring only one update runs at a time (e.g., await _update_ui() before scheduling the next timeout, or keep an in-flight flag/promise and skip if one is running).

    _update_loop() {
        this._update_ui();
        let interval = parseFloat(this.frequency) * 1000;
        this._timeoutId = Mainloop.timeout_add(interval, () => {
            this._update_loop();
            return false;
        });
    }

_getMemInfoAsync() returns null unless MemAvailable is > 0. When MemAvailable legitimately reaches 0 under extreme memory pressure, the applet will incorrectly show “RAM error”. Treat 0 as a valid value (e.g., check for null/NaN instead, and allow available >= 0).

Suggested change

	// Return only if we have both values and they are valid numbers
	return (memInfo.total > 0 && memInfo.available > 0) ? memInfo : null;
	// Return only if we have both values and they are valid numbers.
	// Treat 0 as a valid value for MemAvailable (extreme memory pressure).
	const hasValidTotal = Number.isFinite(memInfo.total) && memInfo.total > 0;
	const hasValidAvailable = Number.isFinite(memInfo.available) && memInfo.available >= 0;
	return (hasValidTotal && hasValidAvailable) ? memInfo : null;

I am working on a new version of my applet in which the above errors will be fixed.
