feat(plugins): Stage 2.1 — plugin framework and AI tool-use

Introduces a standalone plugin system where every integration lives as
an independent Python script in ~/.pyra/plugins/, not hardcoded in core.

Plugin framework (src/pyra/plugins/):
- base.py: Tool dataclass, PyraPlugin Protocol, BasePlugin helper
- loader.py: importlib-based discovery; one bad plugin never crashes pyra
- registry.py: singleton aggregating tools, slash commands, system prompts
- executor.py: approval gate — scans args, prompts y/N, scans result, logs
- install.py: copies bundled_plugins/ to ~/.pyra/plugins/ on install

Chat integration:
- AI tool-use loop (litellm function calling, up to 10 iterations)
- Plugin system prompt additions injected per session
- Plugin slash commands merged with static commands

CLI additions:
- pyra plugin list/install/enable/disable/setup
- pyra daemon start/stop/status/restart/install/uninstall (stubs for 2.4)

Config: PluginConfig + DaemonConfig added to PyraConfig (backwards-compatible)
Bootstrap: ~/.pyra/plugins/ and ~/.pyra/logs/ created on startup
Security: tool args and results always injection-scanned; plugin dirs
validated with assert_safe_path() before loading (symlink protection)

Tests: 37 new tests (loader, registry, executor, plugin isolation security)
161 total, all passing.
