Subject: [PATCH] fix(dog): set BD_ACTOR environment variable for dog sessions

Dogs spawned by gt dog dispatch couldn't find their mail because BD_ACTOR
wasn't set in their tmux environment. The AgentEnv function had no case for
the "dog" role.

Add "dog" case to AgentEnv that sets:
- BD_ACTOR=deacon/dogs/<name>
- GIT_AUTHOR_NAME=dog-<name>
- GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=dog-<name>@gastown.local
