feat: Add --assignee flag to template instantiate, fix mail inbox --identity

Browse Source 
- Add --assignee flag to `bd template instantiate` for work delegation
  - Assigns the root epic to specified agent/user
  - Child issues retain their template-defined assignees
  - Enables Gas Town orchestration: instantiate + assign in one step

- Add missing --identity flag to `bd mail inbox` for consistency
  - All mail subcommands now support --identity override

- Delete obsolete HANDOFF-template-redesign.md (work complete)

- Add test for assignee override behavior
