feat(directory): CODEGRAPH_DIR env var to override the index dir name (#636) (#741)

Two environments that share one working tree — most concretely Windows
and WSL — can't safely share a single `.codegraph/`: the daemon lockfile
records a platform-specific pid + socket (named pipe vs Unix socket), and
SQLite locking across the WSL2/Windows filesystem boundary is unreliable,
so two daemons over one index risks corruption.

Add a `CODEGRAPH_DIR` env var (default `.codegraph`) that overrides the
per-project data directory name, so each environment keeps its own index
in the same tree (e.g. `CODEGRAPH_DIR=.codegraph-win` on Windows). The
name is resolved live and validated (rejects separators / `..` / absolute,
falling back to the default with a one-time stderr warning). Indexing and
file-watching now skip ANY `.codegraph-*` sibling so neither side trips
over the other's data.

Routes the previously-hardcoded `.codegraph` literals (db path, lockfile,
error log, watcher ignore, file-scan skip, installer) through the
resolver. No extraction-version bump — index content is unchanged.
