Replace CPU frequency with C-state monitoring

- Changed CpuData.frequency_mhz to CpuData.cstate (String)
- Implemented collect_cstate() to read CPU idle depth from sysfs
- Finds deepest C-state with most accumulated time (C0-C10)
- Updated dashboard to display C-state instead of frequency
- More accurate indicator of CPU activity vs power management

Bump version to v0.1.208
