perf(draw): defer non-essential first-frame rendering (v1.4.9 R2)

Cut first-frame HITCH from ~127ms median down to ~76ms median (4-reload
sample, threshold lowered to 1ms for measurement) — comfortably under
Dalamud's 100ms warning threshold. ChatTwo upstream sits at ~63ms median
for comparison; the remaining ~13ms gap is the cost of HellionChat-only
features (Sidebar tab view, custom StatusBar, Honorific integration).

Mechanism: a single `_firstFrameDone` flag (flipped in Draw's finally
block) gates six sections that don't need to render on frame 0:

  - StatusBar.Draw (~12ms): the bottom status bar
  - DrawChannelName chunks (~17ms): SeString-Renderer layout, replaced
    with a plain-text fallback (activeTab.Name) for frame 0
  - PositionReset/BoundsCheck (~10ms): EnsureWindowOnScreen viewport
    iteration, only matters once the user notices a mispositioned window
  - DrawV061HintBannerIfNeeded (~3-5ms): v0.6.1 migration notice
  - DrawAutoComplete (~6ms): renders nothing until the user types a command
  - InputPreview.CalculatePreview (~3-5ms): triggers InputPreview first-
    frame lazy init, user-typing-driven anyway

Frame 1 then renders all of them in ~40ms (still well under the warning
threshold), and frames 2+ stay at 0ms as before. User sees the deferred
sections ~17ms (60fps) later than before — invisible inside the ~2.5s
Atlas-Build window after every plugin reload.

Hypothesis triage from the R2-profiling pass:
  - (a) Atlas-Sync-Fallback: falsified. xllog shows the Atlas-Complete
    line always lands ~2.5s before the HITCH frame.
  - (b) Theme-Apply ABGR-Cache-Init: not dominant. PushGlobal is 5ms.
  - (c) Multiple-Window-Render: falsified in v1.4.9 Stage-2-Lazy-Init
    diagnose (deferred 4 windows, no measurable delta).
  - (d) DrawList-Setup-Cost per Window: actual root cause. Layout cost
    distributes evenly across ~10 ImGui sections inside ChatLogWindow
    (5-20ms each). No single hot-spot to optimise — the six selective
    skips above are the pragmatic fix.
