refactor: remove bd mail commands - mail moves to Gas Town

Mail is orchestration, not data plane. The bd mail commands were just
sugar over bd create/list/show with type=message. Gas Town (gt) now
owns mail routing and delivery.

Removed:
- cmd/bd/mail.go - all mail subcommands (send, inbox, read, ack, reply)
- cmd/bd/mail_test.go - mail command tests
- docs/messaging.md - dedicated mail documentation
- EventMessage hook - no longer triggered

Kept (data plane):
- type=message as valid issue type
- Sender, Ephemeral fields on issues
- replies_to dependency type for threading

Coordination: gt-9xg implements native mail in Gas Town.

-### Inter-Agent Messaging (bd mail)
-
-Beads includes a built-in messaging system for direct agent-to-agent communication. Messages are stored as beads issues, synced via git.
-
-**Setup:**
-
-```bash
-# Set your identity (add to environment or .beads/config.json)
-export BEADS_IDENTITY="worker-1"
-```
-
-**Commands:**
-
-```bash
-# Send a message
-bd mail send <recipient> -s "Subject" -m "Body"
-bd mail send worker-2 -s "Handoff" -m "Your turn on bd-xyz" --urgent
-
-# Check your inbox
-bd mail inbox
-
-# Read a specific message
-bd mail read bd-a1b2
-
-# Acknowledge (mark as read/close)
-bd mail ack bd-a1b2
-
-# Reply to a message (creates thread)
-bd mail reply bd-a1b2 -m "Thanks, on it!"
-```
-
-**Use cases:**
-- Task handoffs between agents
-- Status updates to coordinator
-- Blocking questions requiring response
-- Priority signaling with `--urgent` flag
-
-**Cleanup:** Messages are ephemeral. Run `bd cleanup --ephemeral --force` to delete closed messages.
-
-See [docs/messaging.md](docs/messaging.md) for full documentation.
-
 ### Deletion Tracking
 
 When issues are deleted (via `bd delete` or `bd cleanup`), they are recorded in `.beads/deletions.jsonl`. This manifest:

-# Beads Messaging System
-
-Beads provides a built-in messaging system for inter-agent communication. Messages are stored as beads issues with type `message`, enabling git-native communication without external services.
-
-## Overview
-
-The messaging system enables:
-- **Agent-to-agent communication** - Send messages between workers
-- **Thread tracking** - Replies link back to original messages
-- **Priority signaling** - Mark messages as urgent (P0) or routine
-- **Ephemeral cleanup** - Messages can be bulk-deleted after completion
-
-## Identity Configuration
-
-Before using mail commands, configure your identity:
-
-### Environment Variable
-
-```bash
-export BEADS_IDENTITY="worker-1"
-```
-
-### Config File
-
-Add to `.beads/config.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "identity": "worker-1"
-}
-```
-
-### Priority
-
-1. `--identity` flag (if provided)
-2. `BEADS_IDENTITY` environment variable
-3. `.beads/config.json` identity field
-4. System username (fallback)
-
-## Commands
-
-### Send a Message
-
-```bash
-bd mail send <recipient> -s <subject> -m <body>
-```
-
-**Options:**
-- `-s, --subject` - Message subject (required)
-- `-m, --body` - Message body (required)
-- `--urgent` - Set priority=0 (urgent)
-- `--identity` - Override sender identity
-
-**Examples:**
-
-```bash
-# Basic message
-bd mail send worker-1 -s "Task complete" -m "Finished bd-xyz"
-
-# Urgent message
-bd mail send manager -s "Blocked!" -m "Need credentials for deploy" --urgent
-
-# With custom identity
-bd mail send worker-2 -s "Handoff" -m "Your turn on bd-abc" --identity refinery
-```
-
-### Check Your Inbox
-
-```bash
-bd mail inbox
-```
-
-Lists all open messages addressed to your identity.
-
-**Options:**
-- `--from <sender>` - Filter by sender
-- `--priority <n>` - Filter by priority (0-4)
-
-**Output:**
-
-```
-Inbox for worker-1 (2 messages):
-
-  bd-a1b2: Task assigned [URGENT]
-      From: manager (5m ago)
-
-  bd-c3d4: FYI: Design doc updated
-      From: worker-2 (1h ago)
-      Re: bd-x7y8
-```
-
-### Read a Message
-
-```bash
-bd mail read <id>
-```
-
-Displays full message content. Does NOT mark as read.
-
-**Example output:**
-
-```
-──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-ID:      bd-a1b2
-From:    manager
-To:      worker-1
-Subject: Task assigned
-Time:    2025-12-16 10:30:45
-Priority: P0
-Status:  open
-──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-Please prioritize bd-xyz. It's blocking the release.
-
-Let me know if you need anything.
-```
-
-### Acknowledge (Mark as Read)
-
-```bash
-bd mail ack <id> [id2...]
-```
-
-Closes messages to mark them as acknowledged.
-
-**Examples:**
-
-```bash
-# Single message
-bd mail ack bd-a1b2
-
-# Multiple messages
-bd mail ack bd-a1b2 bd-c3d4 bd-e5f6
-```
-
-### Reply to a Message
-
-```bash
-bd mail reply <id> -m <body>
-```
-
-Creates a threaded reply to an existing message.
-
-**Options:**
-- `-m, --body` - Reply body (required)
-- `--urgent` - Set priority=0
-- `--identity` - Override sender identity
-
-**Behavior:**
-- Sets `replies_to` to original message ID
-- Sends to original message's sender
-- Prefixes subject with "Re:" if not already present
-
-**Example:**
-
-```bash
-bd mail reply bd-a1b2 -m "On it! Should be done by EOD."
-```
-
-## Message Storage
-
-Messages are stored as issues with these fields:
-
-| Field | Description |
-|-------|-------------|
-| `type` | `message` |
-| `title` | Subject line |
-| `description` | Message body |
-| `assignee` | Recipient identity |
-| `sender` | Sender identity |
-| `priority` | 0 (urgent) to 4 (routine), default 2 |
-| `ephemeral` | `true` - can be bulk-deleted |
-| `replies_to` | ID of parent message (for threads) |
-| `status` | `open` (unread) / `closed` (read) |
-
-## Cleanup
-
-Messages are ephemeral by default and can be cleaned up:
-
-```bash
-# Preview ephemeral message cleanup
-bd cleanup --ephemeral --dry-run
-
-# Delete all closed ephemeral messages
-bd cleanup --ephemeral --force
-```
-
-## Hooks
-
-The messaging system fires hooks when messages are sent:
-
-**Hook file:** `.beads/hooks/on_message`
-
-The hook receives:
-- **Arg 1:** Issue ID
-- **Arg 2:** Event type (`message`)
-- **Stdin:** Full issue JSON
-
-**Example hook:**
-
-```bash
-#!/bin/sh
-# .beads/hooks/on_message
-
-ISSUE_ID="$1"
-EVENT="$2"
-
-# Parse assignee from JSON stdin
-ASSIGNEE=$(cat | jq -r '.assignee')
-
-# Notify recipient (example: send to external system)
-curl -X POST "https://example.com/notify" \
-  -d "to=$ASSIGNEE&message=$ISSUE_ID"
-```
-
-Make the hook executable:
-
-```bash
-chmod +x .beads/hooks/on_message
-```
-
-## JSON Output
-
-All commands support `--json` for programmatic use:
-
-```bash
-bd mail inbox --json
-bd mail read bd-a1b2 --json
-bd mail send worker-1 -s "Hi" -m "Test" --json
-```
-
-## Thread Visualization
-
-Use `bd show --thread` to view message threads:
-
-```bash
-bd show bd-c3d4 --thread
-```
-
-This shows the full conversation chain via `replies_to` links.
-
-## Best Practices
-
-1. **Use descriptive subjects** - Recipients scan subjects first
-2. **Mark urgent sparingly** - P0 should be reserved for blockers
-3. **Acknowledge promptly** - Keep inbox clean
-4. **Clean up after sprints** - Run `bd cleanup --ephemeral` periodically
-5. **Configure identity** - Use `BEADS_IDENTITY` for consistent sender names
