feat(naming)!: auto-derive mailbox name from project + runtime rename

Mailbox names are now built as <project>-<session-short>, where <project>
is the sanitized git-repo basename (or cwd basename) — no more env-var
prefix step. Sessions can re-tag themselves at runtime via the new
mcp__mailbox__rename tool (POST /v1/rename), which transfers all
pending messages to the new name in a single transaction. Peers using
the old name re-discover via list_mailboxes.

BREAKING: \$CLAUDE_MAILBOX_NAME is no longer read. Existing setups that
relied on the env-var prefix should remove it from .claude/settings.json;
the prefix now comes from the working directory automatically.
