feat: implement ephemeral polecat model

This implements the ephemeral polecat model where polecats are spawned
fresh for each task and deleted upon completion.

Key changes:

**Spawn (internal/cmd/spawn.go):**
- Always create fresh worktree from main branch
- Run bd init in new worktree to initialize beads
- Remove --create flag (now implicit)
- Replace stale polecats with fresh worktrees

**Handoff (internal/cmd/handoff.go):**
- Add rig/polecat detection from environment and tmux session
- Send shutdown requests to correct witness (rig/witness)
- Include polecat name in lifecycle request body

**Witness (internal/witness/manager.go):**
- Add mail checking in monitoring loop
- Process LIFECYCLE shutdown requests
- Implement full cleanup sequence:
  - Kill tmux session
  - Remove git worktree
  - Delete polecat branch

**Polecat state machine (internal/polecat/types.go):**
- Primary states: working, done, stuck
- Deprecate idle/active (kept for backward compatibility)
- New polecats start in working state
- ClearIssue transitions to done (not idle)

**Polecat commands (internal/cmd/polecat.go):**
- Update list to show "Active Polecats"
- Normalize legacy states for display
- Add deprecation warnings to wake/sleep commands
