fix: accurate sync speed display, add missing i18n keys, native language names

- Fix blk/s calculation that was inflated ~10x due to resetting the
  time baseline every frame instead of only when blocks advanced
- Add decay when no new blocks arrive for 10s so rate doesn't stay stale
- Add 7 missing translation keys (timeout_off/1min/5min/15min/30min/1hour,
  slider_off) to all 8 language files so settings dropdowns translate
- Show language names in native script (中文, Русский, 日本語, 한국어)
