Implement real-time terminal popup for system rebuild operations

- Add terminal popup UI component with 80% screen coverage and terminal styling
- Extend ZMQ protocol with CommandOutputMessage for streaming output
- Implement real-time output streaming in agent system rebuild handler
- Add keyboard controls (ESC/Q to close, ↑↓ to scroll) for popup interaction
- Fix system panel Build display to show actual NixOS build instead of config hash
- Update service filters in README with wildcard patterns for better matching
- Add periodic progress updates during nixos-rebuild execution
- Integrate command output handling in dashboard main loop
