feat(handoff): add -s/-m flags for ergonomic handoff mail

Agents naturally expect `gt handoff -s "Subject" -m "Message"` to work
like `gt mail send`. Now it does:

- Added --subject/-s and --message/-m flags to gt handoff
- Added --self flag to gt mail send for sending to self
- Handoff auto-sends mail to self before respawning pane

This makes agent-initiated handoff more ergonomic - they can include
context in a single command instead of two separate steps.
