feat(polecat): add repo path to worktrees for LLM ergonomics (GH#283)

Changes polecat worktree structure from:
  polecats/<name>/
to:
  polecats/<name>/<rigname>/

This gives Claude Code agents a recognizable directory name (e.g., tidepool/)
in their cwd instead of just the polecat name, preventing confusion about
which repo they are working in.

Key changes:
- Add clonePath() method to manager.go and session_manager.go for the actual
  git worktree path, keeping polecatDir() for existence checks
- Update Add(), RepairWorktree(), Remove() to use new structure
- Update daemon lifecycle and restart code for new paths
- Update witness handlers to detect both structures
- Update doctor checks (rig_check, branch_check, config_check,
  claude_settings_check) for backward compatibility
- All code includes fallback to old structure for existing polecats

Fixes #283
