Steve Yegge 01b606fe7b fix(mcp): Run bd commands in user's working directory
The MCP server was running bd commands from the plugin installation directory,
causing the database to be created in the wrong place.

Added BEADS_WORKING_DIR config option and modified BdClient to use working
directory for subprocess calls. Falls back to PWD environment variable.

This ensures bd commands run from the user's actual project directory.
