fix: add backlog triage tool for managing open issues (#1459)

Closes #1459. Addresses the timmy-home backlog of 220 open issues
by providing an automated triage tool.

bin/backlog_triage.py:
- Fetches all open issues with pagination
- Categorizes: idle (60d+), stale (30d+), zombie (90d+ no comments),
  closeable (duplicate/wontfix), unassigned, urgent, backlog, bug, feature
- Generates triage report with recommendations
- Optional auto-close for clearly stale issues (90d+ idle, 0 comments)
- Dry-run mode for safety

14 tests pass.
