feat: Enhanced CLI Watcher with automatic terminal process monitoring

CLI Watcher now automatically detects and tracks terminal-based development
activity, distinguishing between interactive CLIs (vim, REPLs) and work
processes (builds, deploys) without manual configuration.

Key Features:
- Fully automatic: Only requires 'enabled: true' - auto-detects ALL terminal processes
- Smart defaults: Adapts activityWindow and gracePeriod to workspace idle timeout
- Automatic classification: Interactive (vim, python REPL) vs work (builds, deploys)
- Backward compatible: Old configs continue working with deprecation warnings
- Safety mechanisms: Grace period (5min), max age limit (6h), activity monitoring
- Flexible duration parsing: Accepts 6h, 25m, 60 (seconds), or duration strings

Configuration:
- Minimal: enabled: true (that's it!)
- Smart defaults: Auto-calculated from workspace idle timeout
- Time settings: checkPeriod, activityWindow, gracePeriod, maxProcessAge
- Override options: watchedCommands (fix misclassification), ignoredCommands (skip entirely)

Technical Implementation:
- User process filtering: Parent TTY chain analysis (filters shells, system processes)
- Interactive detection: Foreground process group + TTY read analysis
- Activity tracking: TTY access time (Atime) monitoring for user input
- Multicall binary support: Uses /proc/comm for proper command detection
- Self-skip: che-machine-exec doesn't watch itself
- Config validation: Warns about misconfigurations without breaking

Documentation:
- timeout/CLI-WATCHER.md - Comprehensive guide with testing scenarios
- timeout/.noidle.minimal - Minimal config example
- timeout/.noidle.example - Full config with all options

+#
+# ✅ Watch ALL user-initiated processes (processes with TTY from user terminals)
+# ✅ Auto-detect interactive processes (vim, python REPL, etc.) vs work processes (builds, deploys)
+# ✅ Interactive processes: check for user input activity within 25 minutes

+# ✅ All processes: prevent idling for first 5 minutes (grace period)
+# ✅ Safety limit: stop preventing idling after 6 hours (catches hung/forgotten processes)
