feat: extract Gas Town types from beads core (bd-i54l)

Remove Gas Town-specific issue types (agent, role, rig, convoy, slot)
from beads core. These types are now identified by labels instead:
- gt:agent, gt:role, gt:rig, gt:convoy, gt:slot

Changes:
- internal/types/types.go: Remove TypeAgent, TypeRole, TypeRig, TypeConvoy, TypeSlot constants
- cmd/bd/agent.go: Create agents with TypeTask + gt:agent label
- cmd/bd/merge_slot.go: Create slots with TypeTask + gt:slot label
- internal/storage/sqlite/queries.go, transaction.go: Query convoys by gt:convoy label
- internal/rpc/server_issues_epics.go: Check gt:agent label for role_type/rig label auto-add
- cmd/bd/create.go: Check gt:agent label for role_type/rig label auto-add
- internal/ui/styles.go: Remove agent/role/rig type colors
- cmd/bd/export_obsidian.go: Remove agent/role/rig/convoy type tag mappings
- Update all affected tests

This enables beads to be a generic issue tracker while Gas Town
uses labels for its specific type semantics.
