Add --notes flag to bd create command, enabling agents to set notes
during issue creation instead of requiring a separate update command.
Motivation: AI agents repeatedly tried to use --notes with bd create.
Context is fresh at creation time - forcing a two-step process means
context loss or workflow interruption.
Changes:
- cmd/bd/flags.go: Added --notes flag to common issue flags
- cmd/bd/create.go: Read and pass notes in both RPC and direct modes
- cmd/bd/update.go: Removed duplicate --notes flag definition
- internal/rpc/protocol.go: Added Notes field to CreateArgs
- internal/rpc/server_issues_epics.go: Process Notes in handleCreate
- cmd/bd/create_notes_test.go: Comprehensive test coverage
- website/docs/cli-reference/issues.md: Documentation
Also adds gitignore entries for Augment AI and .beads/redirect.

Allows descriptions with apostrophes and other shell-problematic
characters by reading from stdin. Works with both --description=-
and --body=- (the GitHub CLI-style alias).
Example: echo "It's working" | bd create --title "Test" --description=-
Also fixes pre-existing duplicate pinned column/variable declarations.

Fixes 5 linting issues to allow PR checks to pass:
1. hooks.go: Explicitly ignore error in async goroutine
2. 022_drop_edge_columns.go: Handle deferred PRAGMA error
3. flags.go: Add nosec comment for validated file path
4. create_form.go: Fix American spelling (canceled vs cancelled)
5. create_form.go: Explicitly mark cmd parameter as required by cobra
These are pre-existing issues in the codebase, fixed here to
enable clean CI for the import deduplication fix.

- bd-4ri: Test deadlock (test passes in 0.04s now)
- bd-b3og: TestImportBugIntegration (test no longer exists)

Adds --body as a hidden alias for --description in create/update commands,
following GitHub CLI convention for better agent ergonomics.
The --body flag:
- Works alongside existing --description and -d flags
- Hidden from help output to avoid clutter
- Validates conflicts when both flags used with different values
- Available in both 'bd create' and 'bd update' commands
