test0r b29a2716d1 v0.5.2: shell_bg / remote_shell_bg — background launch tools
server.lua gains a shell_bg tool that launches a detached command via
setsid + nohup + stdio-redirect + &, returns immediately with PID and
log path. Linux-only for MVP (Windows Start-Process equivalent TBD).

hub.lua gains remote_shell_bg, forwarding to backend shell_bg. lmcp-only,
no ssh fallback — fallback for fire-and-forget is semantically murky.

Addresses the 'how do I launch a daemon over lmcp without the sentinel-
file wrapper blocking forever' question. Existing remote_shell keeps
its current synchronous-with-timeout behaviour.
