Add BEADS_NO_DAEMON escape hatch and improve daemon detection

Browse Source 
Changes to cmd/bd/main.go:
- Add BEADS_NO_DAEMON env var to explicitly disable daemon (single-user mode)
- Keep BEADS_AUTO_START_DAEMON for backward compatibility
- Lower global daemon threshold from 4+ repos to 2+ repos
- Document always-daemon mode as default behavior

Also create bd-161 epic for label enhancements with child tasks.
