CB-559: a profile's launch settings are deferred, not hot

The shipped docs and javadoc said a profile's `model` and `tabLabel` take effect on
the next spawn. They do not, and ConfigRef did not detect the change either, so a
reload logged a clean "config reloaded" and silently did nothing. That is the worst
outcome a reload can produce: the operator has no reason to doubt it.

What makes a key hot is who reads it and when, not that it is config. Placement
reads weight and maxLoad through a supplier on CompositePeerLauncher, so those are
genuinely hot. HerdrPeerLauncher takes Map.copyOf(profiles) at construction and
resolves every spawn out of that copy, so model, baseUrl, argv, env and the rest
cannot move until the daemon restarts.

changedDeferredKeys now compares every launch component of an existing profile,
excluding weight and maxLoad, and names the profiles that need a restart. The
javadoc and bridged.example.yaml say the same thing. Two tests pin the pair:
weight/maxLoad reports nothing deferred, a changed model reports the profile by name.
