feat: notify dispatcher when polecat work completes

When a crew or other agent dispatches work to a polecat using `gt sling`,
the polecat now tracks who dispatched the work and sends them a completion
notification when running `gt done`.

Changes:
- Add DispatchedBy field to AttachmentFields in beads/fields.go
- Store dispatcher agent ID in bead when slinging (both direct and formula)
- Check for dispatcher in done.go and send WORK_DONE notification to them

This fixes the orchestration issue where crews were left waiting because
polecats only notified the Witness on completion, not the dispatcher.

Fixes: id-c17
