Implement bd daemon command with production-ready improvements

- Add bd daemon command for background git sync (bd-273)
- Implement PID file management with atomic creation (O_EXCL)
- Add session detachment (Setsid) to survive terminal closure
- Implement graceful shutdown with SIGTERM/SIGINT/SIGHUP handling
- Add context cancellation and per-sync timeouts (2min)
- Use secure file permissions (0600 for PID/log, 0700 for .beads)
- Add startup confirmation before reporting success
- Implement interval validation and comprehensive error handling
- Add full test coverage for daemon lifecycle
- Update README.md with daemon documentation

All oracle review recommendations implemented.

The `bd sync` command automatically resolves ID collisions using the same logic as `bd import --resolve-collisions`, making it safe for concurrent updates from multiple devices.
#### Background Sync with `bd daemon`
For continuous automatic syncing, run the bd daemon in the background:
```bash
# Start daemon with auto-commit and auto-push
bd daemon --auto-commit --auto-push
# Check daemon status
bd daemon --status
# Stop daemon
bd daemon --stop
```
The daemon will:
- Poll for changes at configurable intervals (default: 5 minutes)
- Export pending database changes to JSONL
- Auto-commit changes (if `--auto-commit` flag set)
- Auto-push commits (if `--auto-push` flag set)
- Pull remote changes periodically
- Auto-import when remote changes detected
- Log all activity to `.beads/daemon.log`
Options:
```bash
bd daemon --interval 10m # Custom sync interval
bd daemon --auto-commit # Auto-commit changes
bd daemon --auto-push # Auto-push commits (requires auto-commit)
bd daemon --log /var/log/bd.log # Custom log file path
bd daemon --status # Show daemon status
bd daemon --stop # Stop running daemon
```
The daemon is ideal for:
- Always-on development machines
- Multi-agent workflows where agents need continuous sync
- Background sync for team collaboration
- CI/CD pipelines that track issue status
The daemon gracefully shuts down on SIGTERM and maintains a PID file at `.beads/daemon.pid` for process management.
### Optional: Git Hooks for Immediate Sync
Create `.git/hooks/pre-commit`:
