Fix data caching to prevent empty broadcasts

CRITICAL FIX: Collectors now update cached AgentData instead of
creating new empty data each cycle. This prevents the dashboard
from seeing flashing/disappearing data.

- Add cached_agent_data field to Agent struct
- Update cached data when collectors run
- Always broadcast the full cached data every 2s
- Only individual collectors respect their intervals
- Bump version to v0.1.230
