feat(cli): add agent send command

Implements the `agent send` command for sending messages to existing agents.

Features:
- Send follow-up tasks to running agents
- Support for ID prefix matching (e.g., "a1b2" matches "a1b2c3d4")
- --no-wait flag to return immediately without waiting for completion
- Default behavior waits for agent to become idle

Usage:
  paseo agent send <id> <prompt>
  paseo agent send --no-wait a1b2c3d "Run the linter"

* - Graceful error handling when daemon not running
* - All flags are accepted

* Tests:
* - agent send --help shows options
* - agent send requires id and prompt arguments
* - agent send handles daemon not running
* - agent send --no-wait flag is accepted
* - agent shows send in subcommands
