hyprpaper: work around 0.8.4 wallpaper= config bug via IPC

Browse source 
hyprpaper 0.8.4 silently ignores wallpaper= directives in the config
on startup — preload= works but the monitor assignment does not.

Add a hyprland.start hook that waits 2s (for hyprpaper to preload the
image) then sets the wallpaper via hyprctl IPC.  The image path is read
at runtime from hyprpaper.conf to avoid a Nix string-context conflict
between the stylix image store path and the powerMenu derivation.
