Fix bd-73: Add git worktree detection and warnings

- Implement robust worktree detection using git-dir vs git-common-dir comparison
- Add prominent warning when daemon mode is active in a worktree
- Warn in 3 places: initial connection, auto-start, and daemon start command
- Show shared database path and clarify BEADS_AUTO_START_DAEMON behavior
- Document limitations and solutions in README.md and AGENTS.md
- Add comprehensive tests for detection and path truncation

Fixes #55
