heph.nvim: rip out auto-spawn — connect-only plugin
All checks were successful
Build / validate (pull_request) Successful in 10m44s

The daemon is now an OS service (`heph daemon`); the plugin no longer spawns or
supervises one. Removes the managed-daemon machinery entirely.

- delete lua/heph/daemon.lua (spawn/ensure/stop_spawned/self-heal)
- init.lua: connect-only; probe `health` once and guide to `heph daemon start`
- rpc.lua: drop set_respawn + respawn-on-drop; a dropped connection just
  reconnects once (e.g. after `heph daemon restart`), never spawns
- config.lua: drop autostart/bin/db; stable socket fallback (data-dir, matches
  hephd::default_socket_path), keep $HEPH_SOCKET for dev isolation
- tests: spawn/wait_ready move into the e2e harness (test infra); rework
  managed_daemon_spec into a connect-only spec (connect / clean-fail / reconnect)

16 nvim e2e specs pass.
