fix: auto-spawn Warp-managed global MCP servers (warpdotdev#9886)

Closes warpdotdev#9879

## Summary
- Treat Warp-managed `~/.warp*/.mcp.json` detections that use the watcher-produced home-directory logical root as global Warp MCP servers.
- Preserve the existing legacy `warp_data_dir()` root classification for compatibility.
- Add a regression test covering the managed home-root path so global Warp MCP servers auto-spawn even when the third-party auto-spawn toggle is off.

## Validation
- `cargo fmt`
- `cargo check -p warp --lib`
- `CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 cargo clippy -p warp --lib -- -D warnings`

## Validation notes
- Targeted test commands were attempted, but `warp` lib-test compilation was killed by SIGKILL in the sandbox before tests ran.
- Full workspace clippy was attempted. After installing missing `libclang-dev`, it failed on an unrelated missing generated `stable_config.json` for the `stable` test binary.
