pax 987d987512 Popout polish: thumbnail download bar when preview hidden, no overlay reshow on nav
Two fixes that surfaced from daily use after the v0.2.2 popout polish round 1.

1. Show download progress on the active thumbnail when the
   embedded preview is hidden (gui/app.py)

After the previous fix to suppress the dl_progress widget when
the popout is open, the user lost all visible feedback about
the active download in the main app. The grid had no indicator,
the dl_progress widget was hidden, and the only signal was the
status bar text "Loading #X..." at the bottom edge.

`_on_post_activated` now decides per call whether to use the
dl_progress widget at the bottom of the right splitter or fall
back to drawing the download progress on the active thumbnail
in the main grid via the existing prefetch-progress paint path.
The decision is captured at function entry as
`preview_hidden = not (self._preview.isVisible() and
self._preview.width() > 0)` and closed over by the `_progress`
callback and the `_load` coroutine, so the indicator that
starts on a download stays on the same target even if the user
opens or closes the popout mid-download.

The thumbnail bar uses the same paint path as prefetch
indicators (`set_prefetch_progress(0.0..1.0)` for fill,
`set_prefetch_progress(-1)` for clear), so the visual is
identical and no new widget code was added. `_load`'s finally
block emits the clear when `preview_hidden` was true at start.

Generalizes to any reason the preview is hidden, not just the
popout-open case: a user who has dragged the main splitter to
collapse the preview also gets the thumbnail indicator now,
even with the popout closed.

2. Stop auto-showing the popout overlay on every navigation
   (gui/preview.py)

`FullscreenPreview.set_media` ended with an unconditional
`self._show_overlay()` call, which meant the floating toolbar
and video controls bar popped back into view on every left/
right/hjkl navigation between posts. Visually noisy and not
what the user wants once they've started navigating — the
overlay is supposed to be a hover-triggered surface, not a
per-post popup.

Removed the call. The overlay is still shown by:
  - `__init__` default state (`_ui_visible = True`), so the
    user sees it for ~2 seconds on first popout open and the
    auto-hide timer hides it after that
  - `eventFilter` mouse-move-into-top/bottom-edge zone (the
    intended hover trigger, unchanged)
  - Volume scroll on video stack (unchanged)
  - Ctrl+H toggle (unchanged)

After this, the only way the overlay appears mid-session is
hover or Ctrl+H. Navigation through posts no longer flashes it
back into view.
