feat(access): visibility column + mimir_share tool + --workspace-token (#178)

Roadmap Phase 2, Week 10-11: Access Controls (v1.2.0).

Three deliverables:
1. visibility column: private/workspace/public levels on every entity.
   Stored in entities table (TEXT DEFAULT 'workspace'), ALTER migration,
   persisted through remember() INSERT/UPDATE, roundtripped through all
   6 SELECT lists via entity_from_row index 23. Entity constructors
   default to 'workspace'. Added to RecallParams as optional filter.

2. mimir_share MCP tool: shares an entity from one workspace to another
   by category+key lookup, clones with new ID + target workspace_hash,
   persists via remember(). Returns shared_id, action, from/to workspace.
   Registered with full inputSchema/outputSchema/annotations (33 tools now).

3. --workspace-token CLI flag: added to both global Cli and Serve structs
   for cross-workspace transport auth (complements --mcp-token).

E2E verified: entity shared w1→w2, recall in w2 returns the shared copy.
31 tests passing.
