Patch settings-only bar config changes in place instead of rebuilding every widget

A shell.json write used to reassign the whole layout, and the module
Repeaters recreate every delegate when their array model changes — so
toggling an inline widget setting (battery percentage, clock format,
tray pinning) tore down and rebuilt every widget on every monitor,
closing any open panel along the way. When the layout structure is
unchanged, hand the new settings to the running widgets instead.
