tune: lower wink probability from 30% to 5%

Browse Source 
The original 30% per-render rate felt disturbing in practice. Default
mood is 80, so most admin/dashboard renders cleared the >=75 gate, and
~30% of those flipped to wink. Stacked across the main admin page +
dashboard widget visible on the same screen, the visible wink rate
felt closer to "stuck" than "playful" — buddy looked like he had one
eye closed all the time instead of occasionally cheeking out.

5% is true Easter-egg territory: rare enough to feel magical when it
lands, frequent enough you'll catch it after a few admin sessions.
Refresh ~20 times before expecting to see one.

CHANGES
- inc/state.php: mt_rand probability gate 30 -> 5
- inc/state.php: docstring updated to match new ~5% probability

NOT CHANGED
- Wink visuals (sprite.php) unchanged — still the same closed-eye arc,
  asymmetric smirk, rosier cheeks. Just rarer.
- Version constant + CHANGELOG entry left at v0.1.1 — this is a tuning
  hotfix, not new behavior worth a version bump. If we want a v0.1.2
  bump for hygiene, that's a separate commit.
