add cache inspect/vacuum and a diagnose self-check

A corrupt database or an oversized cache previously left the user with no
answer but "delete the state directory and re-sync", which for a large
account means re-downloading everything to fix a problem that may have been
a few stale rows.

pdfs diagnose reports on paths, keyring, daemon, and mountpoint, and exits
non-zero if any check fails so it works in a health check. Every check is
written to run with no daemon, because that is the situation it gets run in:
a stopped daemon is reported as a finding rather than aborting the report.
Writability is tested by writing, since permission bits say nothing about a
full disk or a read-only remount.

pdfs cache inspect reports database size, reclaimable space, per-table row
counts, and cache usage; --deep adds SQLite's integrity check, opt-in because
it reads every page. The report distinguishes "checked and clean" from "not
checked" rather than letting an empty problem list imply a clean bill of
health it never gave.

pdfs cache vacuum checkpoints the WAL and compacts the database.

Deliberately no orphaned-cache-row pruning: ContentCache::reconcile already
rebuilds the index from what is on disk at every open, so a second pass here
would duplicate it against a worse view of the truth. The WAL is likewise
left to journal_size_limit, which already caps it -- a periodic checkpoint
would paper over a problem that no longer exists.

## Diagnostics & Maintenance
When something looks wrong, `pdfs diagnose` checks the installation and prints a
report. It runs without a daemon on purpose — the state worth diagnosing is
usually the state where the daemon will not start:
```console
$ pdfs diagnose
Paths
[ok ] state dir: /home/you/.local/state/proton-drive-linux
[ok ] database: /home/you/.local/state/proton-drive-linux/cache.db (170.3 MiB)
Account
[ok ] keyring session: you@proton.me
Daemon
[ok ] daemon responding
[ok ] mounted at: /home/you/ProtonDrive
[ok ] queued writes: none
No problems found.
```
It exits non-zero if any check fails, so it works in a health-check script.
For the local metadata database and content cache:
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| `pdfs cache inspect` | Database size, reclaimable space, per-table row counts, cache usage against budget |
| `pdfs cache inspect --deep` | Also runs SQLite's integrity check — reads every page, so it is slow on a large database |
| `pdfs cache vacuum` | Checkpoints the write-ahead log and compacts the database |
| `pdfs cache clear` | Deletes cached file content, keeping pinned files |
`vacuum` takes a write lock for its duration and needs room for a second copy of
the database while it runs, so it is a deliberate operation rather than
something the daemon does on a timer.
