Replace bd subprocess calls in gt commands with daemon RPC when available.
Each subprocess call has ~40ms overhead for Go binary startup, so using
the daemon's Unix socket protocol significantly reduces latency.

Changes:
- Add RPC client to beads package (beads_rpc.go)
- Modify List/Show/Update/Close methods to try RPC first, fall back to subprocess
- Replace runBdPrime() with direct content output (avoids bd subprocess)
- Replace checkPendingEscalations() to use beads.List() with RPC
- Replace hook.go bd subprocess calls with beads package methods

The RPC client:
- Connects to daemon via Unix socket at .beads/bd.sock
- Uses JSON-based request/response protocol (same as bd daemon)
- Falls back gracefully to subprocess if daemon unavailable
- Lazy-initializes connection on first use

Performance improvement targets (from bd-2zd.2):
- gt prime < 100ms (was 5.8s with subprocess chain)
- gt hook < 100ms (was ~323ms)

Closes: bd-2zd.2
