feat: add --readonly flag for worker sandboxes (gt-ymo)

Add a --readonly flag that blocks all write operations, allowing workers
to read beads state without modifying it. Workers can use:
- bd show, bd list, bd ready (read operations)

Workers cannot use:
- bd create, bd update, bd close, bd sync, etc. (write operations)

The flag can be set via:
- --readonly flag on command line
- BD_READONLY=true environment variable
- readonly: true in config file

This enables swarm workers to see their assigned work from a static
snapshot of the beads database without accidentally modifying it.

Commands protected by readonly mode:
- create, update, close, delete, edit
- sync, import, reopen
- comment add, dep add/remove, label add/remove
- repair-deps, compact, migrate, migrate-hash-ids, migrate-issues
- rename-prefix, validate --fix-all, duplicates --auto-merge
- epic close-eligible, jira sync
