Replace webview split layout with tabbed Dashboard/Site interface

Dashboards with a webview widget now show a tab bar: Dashboard tab
renders all normal widgets, Site tab displays the web content
full-canvas with even margins. Cleaner UX than the split layout.

The `webview` widget embeds a live web browser directly in your dashboard — perfect for displaying local dev servers, HTML reports, or any web-based tool your agent generates. When a section contains a webview alongside other widgets, Scarf automatically splits the layout: widgets on the left, webview on the right. If the section only has a webview, it takes the full width.

When a dashboard includes a webview widget, Scarf adds a tabbed interface: **Dashboard** shows your normal widgets, **Site** shows the web content full-canvas with clean margins — using the entire available space in the app. This gives you the best of both worlds: compact metrics at a glance, and a full embedded browser when you need it.

The real power is letting your Hermes agent build and update dashboards automatically. Add instructions like this to your agent's context:
> Analyze this project and create a `.scarf/dashboard.json` dashboard with relevant metrics and status. Use stat widgets for key numbers, charts for trends, tables for structured data, and lists for task tracking. Register the project in `~/.hermes/scarf/projects.json` if not already registered.
> Analyze this project and create a `.scarf/dashboard.json` dashboard with relevant metrics and status. Use stat widgets for key numbers, charts for trends, tables for structured data, lists for task tracking, and a webview widget if the project has a local web server or HTML reports. Register the project in `~/.hermes/scarf/projects.json` if not already registered.
Your agent can update the dashboard as part of cron jobs, after builds, or whenever project state changes. Since Scarf watches the file, updates appear in real-time.
