Extract normalizeLabels to internal/util/strings.go

- Created internal/util/strings.go with NormalizeLabels function
- Added comprehensive tests in internal/util/strings_test.go
- Updated internal/rpc/server_issues_epics.go to use util.NormalizeLabels
- Updated cmd/bd/list.go and cmd/bd/ready.go to use util.NormalizeLabels
- Updated cmd/bd/list_test.go to use util.NormalizeLabels
- Removed duplicate implementations
- All tests pass

Fixes bd-fb95094c.6
