Faster restart-shell, sidestep upstream IPC kill crash

Browse Source 
quickshell kill currently trips Quickshell #539 (notifyInternal2 event
loop crash via IpcKillCommand::exec), which leaves the Wayland surface
lingering long enough that the new instance starts on top of the dying
one — a duplicate bar. SIGKILL drops the client connection and the
compositor cleans up surfaces immediately; the shell has no persistent
state to flush. Sub-20ms restart, no duplicates.
