New sidebar tab between Privacy and Extensions. The two long
system-scoped cards (Ariadne's Thread system-wide resolver, Aegis
built-in wallet) were bloating the General section; they cluster
naturally as "components that live alongside Theseus, each with
install/update/on-off controls of their own" and now have their
own home.

- Adds <a data-sec="plugins">Plug-ins</a> to nav.side
- New <section id="plugins"> with a short lede
- Ariadne + Aegis row blocks moved from General to Plug-ins verbatim
- sections array in showSection() extended with "plugins"
- Tab-switch handler clicks ariadneRefresh so status is never stale;
  Aegis card auto-loads on page-init and its "Check for updates"
  button stays user-initiated (avoid firing a network request every
  time the user opens the Plug-ins tab)
