fix: refresh mode-line weather when the default location changes

Pressing d to promote a displayed location to the favorite changed wttrin-favorite-location but left the mode-line untouched. Its cache still held the old location's weather. The next scheduled refetch could be up to an hour away, so the hover tooltip kept showing the previous default.

wttrin--set-favorite-location now detects a real change and, when the mode-line is active, clears the stale cache and fetches the new location at once via a new wttrin--mode-line-refresh-now helper. The tooltip switches within seconds instead of waiting for the timer.
