Witness startup: auto-bond mol-witness-patrol on gt prime (gt-lx3n)

- Add outputWitnessPatrolContext() function in prime.go
- Witness now auto-spawns mol-witness-patrol if no active patrol
- Fixed catalog ID parsing (strip trailing colon) for both witness and refinery
- Created mol-witness-patrol template with 10 steps (gt-qflq)
