fix(install): prune old version bundles instead of piling them up (#1074) (#1075)

install.sh kept each release in its own versions/<v> dir (~50 MB with the
vendored Node runtime) and only moved the `current` symlink, so old versions
accumulated forever across upgrades. Keep only the just-installed version and
delete the rest; `codegraph upgrade` re-runs install.sh, so this covers
upgrades too. The npm-shim self-heal cache (~/.codegraph/bundles/) prunes the
same way. Windows installs overwrite a single dir in place and were never
affected.

Validated real-world on macOS, Linux (Docker/dash), and Windows (VM): a
v1.1.2 -> v1.1.4 install leaves only the latest behind.

### Fixes
- The standalone installer (`install.sh`) no longer leaves old versions piling up on disk. Each upgrade installed the new release into its own directory and re-pointed the launcher at it, but never removed the previous ones — so on macOS and Linux a full vendored Node runtime (tens of MB per version) accumulated with every update. The installer now keeps only the version it just installed and removes the older ones automatically (the npm installer's download-fallback cache prunes the same way). Windows installs already replaced a single directory in place, so they were never affected. Anything still left behind under `~/.codegraph/versions` from earlier upgrades is safe to delete. Thanks @lalanbv for the report. (#1074)
- `codegraph index` can now rebuild an existing oversized index from an older version, instead of hanging until the watchdog kills it. The previous fix (#1065) stopped *new* indexes from sweeping in a gitignored corpus of nested repos, but a project that had already built the multi-gigabyte graph before upgrading couldn't recover: `codegraph index` is meant to rebuild from scratch, yet it cleared the old graph by deleting every row one at a time, and on a graph of well over a million symbols that took longer than the 60-second responsiveness watchdog allows — so the command was killed before indexing even started, leaving the bad index in place. A full re-index now discards the old database outright and starts fresh, which is near-instant regardless of the old size and also frees the disk the bloated database was holding. Thanks @AriaShishegaran for the detailed follow-up report. (#1067)
