Patrick Ecord fdbc99d40e agent: install/uninstall as a login service (launchd / systemd)
Add subcommands so the desktop agent runs in the background on login — the real
desktop product shape, no window. `tether-agent install` writes a launchd
LaunchAgent (macOS) or systemd user unit (Linux) with the resolved config baked
in (run mode + server/account/name/room), loads it, and it survives reboots;
`uninstall`/`status` manage it. Foreground `run` unchanged (the no-subcommand
default). Windows falls through with a hint.

Verified on macOS: install loads the agent (launchctl lists it, process runs
with the baked args), uninstall removes it cleanly.

# tether-agent
Headless clipboard sync daemon on the shared `tethercore` engine (SSE + RTC +
LAN, prefer-direct E2E). One Rust binary for macOS / Linux / Windows.
```sh
tether-agent # run in the foreground (Ctrl-C to stop)
tether-agent install # run on login as a background service
tether-agent uninstall # remove the service
tether-agent status # service status
# config (applies to run + install; account derives the shared room):
tether-agent install --account you@example.com --name "Patrick's NAS"
```
- **macOS**: a launchd LaunchAgent at `~/Library/LaunchAgents/io.pecord.tether-agent.plist`
(logs → `~/Library/Logs/tether-agent.log`).
- **Linux**: a systemd user unit at `~/.config/systemd/user/tether-agent.service`
(`loginctl enable-linger` to start at boot without login).
- Defaults: `--server https://tether.pecord.io`, account-derived room, hostname as name.
