tmux: kludge a fix to erroneous cpu numbers in statusbar

previously we invoked vmstat and parsed its output to report on
supposedly 'recent' CPU consumption.  however, as invoked, vmstat
outputs cumulative-since-boot CPU numbers, as that's all the kernel
interface supplies.  having vmstat wait a few seconds to report
last-few-seconds numbers is possible, but is not recommended
(see tmux/tmux#797 (comment) )
and results in status line updates at rapid and irregular intervals
(see tmux-plugins/tmux-cpu#15 ).  this is
distracting, and also makes tmux create high load on an ancient raspi.

so instead, we kludge using tmux as a sort of background job manager,
launching vmstat on a high-numbered window and parsing its output
into a file underneath our systemd-created session tmpfs, from which
the tmux status line reads it.

vmstat is used over iostat/mpstat/etc as it should be always available
(at least on Debian systems where procps is Priority: important).
