fix(mail): Use town beads for all mail (two-level architecture)

Replace complex address-based routing with simple town root lookup.
All mail goes to ~/gt/.beads/ (town beads), eliminating the broken
rig-level routing.

Two-level model:
- Town beads (~/gt/.beads/): ALL mail and coordination
- Clone beads (<rig>/crew/*/.beads/): Project issues only

Fixes: gt-4qey
