feat(hyprland): generate Lua monitor config instead of hyprlang

Browse Source 
Write hl.monitor({...}) calls to ~/.config/hypr/monitors.lua (loaded via
require("monitors") in hyprland.lua) instead of monitor= lines in
monitors.conf. Prepare now strips hl.monitor lines with disabled = true,
and generateConf omits mode/position so Hyprland uses its defaults.
Update README and example config to match.
