Subject: [PATCH] update monitored hardware after a runtime config swap

`swap_runtime_config` rebound the stats emitter to the new config but not its `HardwareStats`, which kept polling hardware for the old config and applied camera updates to the discarded object. It now follows the swap along with its camera update subscriber.
