feat: remove container layer, run agents as direct host processes

- Rewrite container-runner.ts to spawn node processes directly instead
  of Docker/Apple Container
- Runner paths configurable via env vars (NANOCLAW_GROUP_DIR, etc.)
  with container-path defaults for backwards compat
- Pass real credentials directly (no credential proxy needed)
- Remove ensureContainerSystemRunning() and startCredentialProxy()
  from startup
- Add build:runners script for building agent-runner and codex-runner
- Fix TS strict mode errors in agent-runner ipc-mcp-stdio.ts
