Change position update logic to only trigger redraw when the
displayed value (rounded to seconds) changes, not when the raw
float value changes. This eliminates jumpy time display and
reduces unnecessary redraws.
Move cache duration update from update_properties (~10Hz) to
update_metadata (~0.5Hz) to match the refresh rate of codec,
bitrate, and sample rate. All bottom status bar metrics now
update at the same frequency.

Performance optimizations:
- Split property updates: fast updates (position/duration) vs slow (metadata)
- Update metadata only every 2 seconds instead of every 100ms
- Skip MPV property updates entirely when stopped
- Conditional UI redraws - only when state actually changes
