Fix i3 IPC FD leak with timeout-based stale client cleanup

Clients that connect but never send messages or subscribe to events
would accumulate indefinitely, eventually exhausting file descriptors.

Add tracking for client creation time and last activity timestamp.
Clients are now cleaned up if they have been idle for 60+ seconds
without subscribing to any events or sending any messages.

This approach is safer than treating UnexpectedEof as disconnect,
which caused issues with polybar's connection handling.
