Teknium 5148682b43 feat: mount skills directory into all remote backends with live sync (#3890)
Skills with scripts/, templates/, and references/ subdirectories need
those files available inside sandboxed execution environments. Previously
the skills directory was missing entirely from remote backends.

Live sync — files stay current as credentials refresh and skills update:
- Docker/Singularity: bind mounts are inherently live (host changes
  visible immediately)
- Modal: _sync_files() runs before each command with mtime+size caching,
  pushing only changed credential and skill files (~13μs no-op overhead)
- SSH: rsync --safe-links before each command (naturally incremental)
- Daytona: _upload_if_changed() with mtime+size caching before each command

Security — symlink filtering:
- Docker/Singularity: sanitized temp copy when symlinks detected
- Modal/Daytona: iter_skills_files() skips symlinks
- SSH: rsync --safe-links skips symlinks pointing outside source tree
- Temp dir cleanup via atexit + reuse across calls

Non-root user support:
- SSH: detects remote home via echo $HOME, syncs to $HOME/.hermes/
- Daytona: detects sandbox home before sync, uploads to $HOME/.hermes/
- Docker/Modal/Singularity: run as root, /root/.hermes/ is correct

Also:
- credential_files.py: fix name/path key fallback in required_credential_files
- Singularity, SSH, Daytona: gained credential file support
- 14 tests covering symlink filtering, name/path fallback, iter_skills_files

Uses SSH ControlMaster for connection persistence so subsequent
commands are fast. Security benefit: the agent cannot modify its
own code since execution happens on a separate machine.
Foreground commands are interruptible: the local ssh process is killed
and a remote kill is attempted over the ControlMaster socket.
When ``persistent=True``, a single long-lived bash shell is kept alive
over SSH and state (cwd, env vars, shell variables) persists across
``execute()`` calls. Output capture uses file-based IPC on the remote
host (stdout/stderr/exit-code written to temp files, polled via fast
ControlMaster one-shot reads).
