Add Process List plugin (processList)

[Mithgroth]

Adds a new monitoring desktop widget plugin entry:

• Plugin: Process List
• Repo: https://github.com/Mithgroth/dms-process-list
• Category: monitoring
• Capabilities: desktop-widget
• Screenshot: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mithgroth/dms-process-list/main/screenshot.png

The registry id/name match the plugin manifest:

• id: processList
• name: Process List

I feel like this would be far better if it used DgopService and dgop, it would operate much more efficiently without spawning any extra processes, and probably have access to more rich data

Anything in particular you have in mind for rich data?
I personally wanted to add right-click > kill process, but think that would be unlikely since right click triggers positioning the widget.

I just mean that dgop is already providing process data, built-in to the codebase - and it'd be more efficient than spawning a lot of processes and parsing them, already grouped and returned in json format.

You can have onCompleted {DgopService.addRef(["processes"]);} onDestroyed {DgopService.removeRef(["processes"]);}

Hmm, got a problem with process owners.

• dgop itself provides owner data (username) in process payload:
  • https://github.com/AvengeMedia/dgop/blob/d8fb09412f36d3e3f548362422b04645ad4c7f15/models/process.go#L15
  • https://github.com/AvengeMedia/dgop/blob/d8fb09412f36d3e3f548362422b04645ad4c7f15/gops/processes.go#L101
  • Current DgopService process mapping does not forward username/uid into allProcesses:
    https://github.com/AvengeMedia/DankMaterialShell/blob/ef19568dd7260c07ba7ba1ca793117da28251407/quickshell/Services/DgopService.qml#L379-L402

If I go with DgopService, it seems that this plugin won't be able to filter processes with ALL | USER | SYSTEM.
So, what do we do next?

1. Expose username (or uid) via DgopService.allProcesses? Should I even?
2. Use direct dgop calls in plugin to preserve USER/SYSTEM split? That skips the service though.

@Mithgroth is this going to be updated?
