feat: add --mail flag to gt rig reset to clear stale messages

Closes gt-48bs: gt rig reset now clears stale mail messages.
- Non-pinned messages are closed with reason 'Cleared during reset'
- Pinned messages have their content cleared but remain open
- Works with both --mail flag and default reset (all state)
