feat(status): Check bd daemon health and attempt restart (gt-2f0p3)

Add bd daemon health check at the start of gt status:
- Check daemon health via bd daemon health --json
- Attempt restart if daemons are unhealthy (version mismatch, stale, unresponsive)
- Show warning at end of status output if daemons could not be started
- Non-blocking: status display continues regardless of daemon state

This prevents the 39+ second slowdown when bd daemons are not running
properly, as each bd command falls back to slow direct mode.
