feat(multiplexer): add Rust compiler cache sharing with sccache (shepherdjerred#175)

* feat(multiplexer): add Rust compiler cache sharing with sccache

Add shared Docker volume mounts for Rust compilation caching across
all mux sessions. Uses progressive enhancement approach - works today
with cargo dependency caching, automatically improves when sccache is
installed in the dotfiles image.

Changes:
- Add 3 cache volumes: cargo-registry, cargo-git, sccache
- Configure sccache via RUSTC_WRAPPER environment variable
- Add `mux clean-cache` command for manual cleanup
- Update tests to verify cache configuration

Benefits:
- Dependency downloads: 0s (vs 30-60s)
- Compilation: 90%+ faster with sccache
- Works across worktrees and different project paths

* fix: use non-root accessible paths for Rust cache volumes

Fix critical permissions issue where cache volumes were mounted to
paths inaccessible by non-root users (/root, /usr/local/cargo).

Changes:
- Mount cargo caches to /workspace/.cargo (instead of /usr/local/cargo)
- Mount sccache to /workspace/.cache/sccache (instead of /root/.cache)
- Add CARGO_HOME=/workspace/.cargo environment variable
- Update documentation to reflect new paths
- Update test assertions for new paths

Containers run as non-root (--user flag), so all caches must be under
/workspace (HOME) where the user has write access.

Addresses GitHub Actions bot review feedback.
