[BUG] Quickshell status bar does not reload after resume in hypridle.conf

[tetam01]

Describe the bug

When using Quickshell instead of Waybar, the status bar disappears or freezes after the system resumes from sleep/standby. This happens because the status bar is not triggered to reload and bind to the re-enabled monitors on resume.

Steps to reproduce

1. Switch the status bar to "Quickshell" in the ML4W settings.
2. Put the PC to sleep / standby (suspend).
3. Wake up the PC.
4. Observe that the Quickshell status bar is missing, frozen, or positioned incorrectly.

Expected behavior

The status bar should automatically reload and appear correctly on the active monitors after waking up from sleep/standby, regardless of whether Waybar or Quickshell is used.

Additional context

This issue occurs because in hypridle.conf, the after_sleep_cmd only reactivates DPMS:
after_sleep_cmd = hyprctl dispatch 'hl.dsp.dpms({ action = "enable" })'
It does not trigger any reload of the status bar. To make it compatible with all status bars out-of-the-box, it should call the universal reload script:
after_sleep_cmd = hyprctl dispatch 'hl.dsp.dpms({ action = "enable" })' && sleep 2 && ~/.config/ml4w/scripts/ml4w-reload-statusbar
This script automatically reads the active status bar from ~/.config/ml4w/settings/statusbar and sends the correct reload command (e.g., qs ipc call statusbar reload for Quickshell or launch.sh for Waybar).

Update on the fix details:

Just did some more testing and realized that simply calling qs ipc call statusbar reload on resume isn't really reliable.

If the main qs process crashes when the outputs get disabled during suspend (which happens a lot with Qt layer-shell apps), the IPC call just fails silently. Even if it doesn't crash, the window often loses its output binding and won't show up again.

To fix this, I needed to completely restart the main qs process, similar to what Waybar's launch.sh does.

I ended up modifying the quickshell block in ml4w-reload-statusbar to restart just the main qs process
