feat: add --estimate flag to bd create/update commands (GH #443)

Browse Source 
The estimated_minutes field existed in the Issue schema but wasn't exposed
via CLI. This adds:

- --estimate / -e flag to bd create (e.g., bd create "Task" --estimate 120)
- --estimate / -e flag to bd update (e.g., bd update bd-xyz --estimate 60)
- EstimatedMinutes field to RPC CreateArgs and UpdateArgs
- Server-side handling in handleCreate and updatesFromArgs
- Validation for non-negative values

The value is specified in minutes and is useful for planning and
prioritization. The vscode-beads extension already has an Estimate column
that can now be populated.

Fixes #443
