refactor: rename ephemeral → wisp throughout (bd-ldb0)

Standardize terminology for ephemeral molecule storage:
- .beads-ephemeral/ → .beads-wisps/
- --ephemeral flag → --wisp flag
- All Ephemeral* functions → Wisp*

Wisps are the "steam" in Gas Town's engine metaphor - ephemeral
molecules that evaporate after squash.

Ephemeral molecules (wisps) are local-only, gitignored, and not synced.
