Ollama can silently run on CPU even when the host has an NVIDIA GPU,
resulting in ~3 tok/s instead of ~167 tok/s. This happens when Ollama
was installed before the GPU toolkit, or when the container was
recreated without proper DeviceRequests. Users had zero indication.
Adds a GPU health check to the system info API response that detects
when the host has an NVIDIA runtime but nvidia-smi fails inside the
Ollama container. Shows a warning banner on the System Information
and AI Settings pages with a one-click "Reinstall AI Assistant"
button that force-reinstalls Ollama with GPU passthrough.

Inside Docker, systeminformation reports the container's Alpine Linux
distro, container ID as hostname, and no GPU. This enriches the System
Information page with actual host details via the Docker API:
- Distribution and kernel version from docker.info()
- Real hostname from docker.info().Name
- GPU model and VRAM via nvidia-smi inside the Ollama container
- Graphics card in System Details (Model, Vendor, VRAM)
- Friendly uptime display (days/hours/minutes instead of minutes only)
