fix(docker): fixed listing height when a plugin adds a tab to the Docker page

[Squidly271]

Fixes the Docker Containers table being rendered with corrupted column widths when a plugin adds a tab to the Docker page and Listing height is set to Fixed.

Linear: OS-868

Changes

• Focus="loadlist" is added to the page header so the container list is reloaded and re-sized when the Docker Containers tab is selected in tabbed mode. This fixes the corrupted column widths seen when another plugin tab was displayed while the list first loaded.
• Non-tabbed mode with a plugin tab: automatic listing height is forced for the container list, since the other sections are stacked below it and a fixed height makes no sense there.
• No plugin tab: behaviour is unchanged.
• manualSpacingOffset raised from 30 to 100 so the action buttons sit correctly under the fixed-height list. This applies regardless of plugins.

Testing

1. With a plugin that adds a Docker tab (e.g. StaXX), Fixed listing height, Tabbed display: open the Docker page with the plugin tab active, then click Docker Containers. Columns lay out normally.
2. Same with Non-tabbed display: the container list uses its automatic height and the plugin section follows below.
3. Without the plugin: Fixed listing height behaves as before in both display modes, with the buttons positioned correctly.

Walkthrough

The Docker Containers page changes its focus target and derives fixed-height behavior from resize settings and plugin tab visibility. It also increases the table spacing offset used when filling available height.

Changes

Docker container layout

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Conditional table layout settings emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/DockerContainers.page	The page uses Focus="loadlist". It disables fixed-height mode when plugin tabs are present in non-tabbed view. The table uses the derived setting and a spacing offset of 100.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 445b6

The change may trigger overlapping container-list refreshes and unnecessarily shorten the standard fixed-height Docker table. These regressions should be fixed before merging.

Poem

A rabbit sets the focus right,
The Docker table fills the height.
When plugin tabs appear in view,
Fixed sizing turns off too.
The rows now fit with spacing bright.

In `@emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/DockerContainers.page`:
- Line 200: Update the layout logic around fillAvailableHeight() so
manualSpacingOffset remains 30 for the no-plugin path, while applying 100 only
to the plugin layout that requires the extra spacing; preserve the existing
Docker page dimensions when no plugin adds a tab.
- Line 7: Update the loadlist polling flow associated with Focus="loadlist" to
use a single-flight timer/request guard before enabling the focus callback,
ensuring repeated tab clicks cannot start overlapping DockerContainers.php
requests or duplicate scheduleNextLoad() polling chains. Preserve normal loading
and polling behavior while ignoring a new invocation when an existing timer or
request is active.
