Stefan Haller ed72851579 Reset the scroll to the top at first paint, not when the task starts
When a main view re-renders content different from what it last showed, the
scroll resets to the top. That reset fired synchronously when the task started —
but with the off-screen render the previous content stays displayed until the
swap, so resetting the origin up front scrolled that still-visible content to the
top before the new content replaced it: a distracting jump when switching commits
(or any item) while scrolled down.

Defer the reset to the task's first paint (the swap), alongside the restore that
already runs there: the previous content stays at its scroll until the new content
takes its place, then the new content appears at the top. A same-content re-render
keeps its scroll (no reset); a restore places the scroll itself. The "loading..."
indicator path also resets the origin now, since it clears the previous content to
show the message and must put it at the top.

The reset moves out of NewTask (it no longer needs the task key or the pending
restore for this) into the read loop, driven by LinesToRead.ResetOrigin, which the
cmd/pty wrappers set from the key comparison the reset used to do. The manager's
onNewKey callback is renamed resetOrigin to match its now-decoupled timing.
