Subject: [PATCH] feat(statusline): lower max rigs to 3 and add alias support

- Add Alias field to RigEntry struct for short display names
- Limit displayed rigs to 3 (was unlimited, causing overflow)
- Use alias in statusline when configured (e.g., gcr instead of google_cookie_retrieval)
- Show +N overflow indicator when more rigs exist

Closes: hq-5j33zz
