feat(cli): codegraph stop / list to manage background daemons (#861)

Adds first-class daemon control (the #845 pain point: no clean way to stop a
runaway daemon). `codegraph stop [path]` stops the current/given project's
daemon (SIGTERM -> SIGKILL fallback, sweeps artifacts); `stop --all` stops every
daemon; `list`/`ps` shows running daemons (--json for scripts).

Discovery via a small self-healing registry: each daemon records its root under
~/.codegraph/daemons/ on start, removes it on graceful shutdown; readers prune
dead pids. Cross-platform by construction (files + process.kill). Validated live
on macOS, Linux (docker), and Windows (VM): registry unit 6/6 and real-daemon
stop/list 6/6 on each.

/**
* Global daemon registry + stop/list control — the discovery layer behind
* `codegraph list` and `codegraph stop [--all]`.
*
* Every per-project daemon already writes an authoritative lockfile at
* `<root>/.codegraph/daemon.pid`. That's enough to stop ONE daemon you can name,
* but there's no central place to find them ALL — which `list` and `stop --all`
* need. So each daemon also drops a tiny record under `~/.codegraph/daemons/` on
* start and removes it on graceful shutdown.
*
* The registry is a DISCOVERY index, never a source of truth: the live pid is.
* A SIGKILL'd daemon can't remove its own record, so readers prune any record
* whose pid is dead (`isProcessAlive`). Every write/read is best-effort — a
* registry hiccup must never break the daemon or a command; worst case `list`
* momentarily misses or over-lists one, which the next liveness prune corrects.
*
* Cross-platform by construction: only files + `process.kill(pid, signal)`,
* which behave consistently on macOS/Linux (real signals) and Windows (mapped to
* TerminateProcess). Validated live on all three.
