Fix printer status "timelapse" effect after print completion

When navigating to the printer page after a print completed, status
metrics would animate slowly from mid-print values to final state.

Root cause: The message queue processed messages one at a time with 16ms
delays. If 50+ status updates queued during a print, they took 800ms+ to
process, causing multiple throttle windows and the visual "timelapse".

Solution: Handle printer_status messages directly without queueing.
They're already throttled (100ms) so don't need queue rate limiting.
Other message types still use the queue.
