Implement counter persistence to maintain network usage statistics across system reboots. The extension now properly tracks total network usage even when system counters reset. - Store counter state in ~/.netspeed_data using JSON format - Handle system counter resets by maintaining offset value - Add periodic saving to prevent data loss - Implement proper cleanup and initialization - Fix calculation logic for consistent counting

This pull request implements persistent network usage tracking, allowing the extension to remember total data usage between system reboots.
Problem
Previously, the extension would reset the data counter to zero after each reboot because Linux resets system network counters. This made it impossible to track total data usage over extended periods.
Solution
User Experience
Users can now see their continuously accumulated network usage in Mode 5, even after rebooting their system. The counter will maintain its value between sessions, making it useful for tracking total bandwidth consumption over time.
Testing
Tested across multiple system reboots with various network activity patterns. The counter correctly maintains its value and continues counting from where it left off.
