On Windows, watchdog's Observer uses WindowsApiObserver which dispatches
events through a thread pool. The old code ran file I/O and pyperclip
clipboard access synchronously inside the watchdog event handler, blocking
pool workers under load and causing pool-exhaustion errors and UI
slowness that didn't reproduce on Linux.

- Add _in_queue (SimpleQueue) and a dedicated clipsync-in thread that
  drains the queue and calls _on_file_changed. The watchdog handler now
  just puts a path on the queue and returns immediately, keeping the
  thread pool free.
- Cache resolved clipboard file paths in _ClipboardFileHandler so
  _matches() doesn't call Path.resolve() three times per event.
- Add fast name-based pre-filter before the (more expensive) resolve()
  call, since Syncthing generates many temp-file events for other files.

_DevicesContent._refresh() and IncomingWindow._refresh() both called
connected_devices() / get_pending_devices() directly on the main thread.
Each call has a 10-second timeout and connected_devices() makes 3
sequential requests, so a slow or unresponsive Syncthing froze the entire
UI for up to 30 seconds on every auto-refresh cycle (every 3s).

- Split each _refresh() into _do_refresh() (background thread) +
  _apply_refresh() (main thread via after(0, ...)), matching the pattern
  already used by _nearby_worker.
- Catch requests.RequestException separately and show "Syncthing is not
  responding" instead of the raw HTTPConnectionPool traceback string.
- Show a "Loading…" placeholder while the fetch is in flight.
