fix(cli): add missing subprocess.run() timeouts in gateway CLI (#5424)

All 35 subprocess.run() calls in hermes_cli/gateway.py lacked timeout
parameters. If systemctl, launchctl, loginctl, wmic, or ps blocks,
hermes gateway start/stop/restart/status/install/uninstall hangs
indefinitely with no feedback.

Timeouts tiered by operation type:
- 10s: instant queries (is-active, status, list, ps, tail, journalctl)
- 30s: fast lifecycle (daemon-reload, enable, start, bootstrap, kickstart)
- 90s: graceful shutdown (stop, restart, bootout, kickstart -k) — exceeds
  our TimeoutStopSec=60 to avoid premature timeout during shutdown

Special handling: _is_service_running() and launchd_status() catch
TimeoutExpired and treat it as not-running/not-loaded, consistent with
how non-zero return codes are already handled.

Inspired by PR #3732 (dlkakbs) and issue #4057 (SHL0MS).
Reimplemented on current main which has significantly changed launchctl
handling (bootout/bootstrap/kickstart vs legacy load/unload/start/stop).
