test(e2e): add containerized install and daemon tests

Add e2e tests that verify gt install creates a functional system:
- TestInstallDoctorClean: verifies structure, rig/crew add, commands
- TestInstallWithDaemon: extends above with daemon lifecycle testing

Tests run in isolated Docker container for reproducibility.

Includes:
- Dockerfile.e2e for test container
- Makefile targets: test-e2e, test-e2e-container
- GitHub Actions workflow for CI
