Fix bd-e652: Improve bd doctor daemon health checks

- Use path normalization (EvalSymlinks) to reliably match daemons across symlinks
- Check for stale sockets directly (catches cases where RPC failed)
- Detect multiple daemons for same workspace
- Enhanced error details for stale daemon detection
- Use global daemon registry instead of path-scoped discovery
