fix(regreet): pre-seed state for session auto-select

ReGreet populates the session dropdown but never auto-selects an entry without cached state. On first boot the cache is empty, and manual entry doesn't persist because sess_id is None. Added an activation script to seed state.toml so Niri is pre-selected.
