feat(discovery): find live instances across sandboxes; build info

Each app writes $HOME/.cache/crafter-debug/instances/<id>.json (0600,
in a 0700 directory) and holds an flock on <id>.lock while it lives.
Every `flatpak run` is its own pid namespace, so pids collide and can
neither name an instance nor tell whether it lives; a random id names
it and the lock says it lives, since flock works across sandboxes on
the shared filesystem. An app killed without its destructor leaves its
files with the lock free, and the next listing removes them. The lock
is created under a temporary name, locked, then renamed, as in
Crafter.Review's LifetimeLock, so it is never seen unlocked while its
app lives. Inside a Flatpak the record also carries the sandbox's
instance id (for `flatpak enter`) and the host pid of its init (to end
the whole sandbox from the host).

project.cpp now generates :BuildInfo per core variant: a hash of the
library's sources and the path of the client built with it. App and
client share the core, so they report the same id exactly when built
from the same sources; this is the safety net under building the
client in the same pass as the app.

// How crafter-debug finds running apps. Each app writes
// $HOME/.cache/crafter-debug/instances/<instanceId>.json, readable by its
// user only, and holds an flock on <instanceId>.lock for as long as it runs.
//
// Spelled with $HOME, not $XDG_CACHE_HOME: inside the CrafterBuild Flatpak
// XDG_CACHE_HOME points into ~/.var/app/..., which a native crafter-build
// would not see, while $HOME/.cache is the same path for both. Every
// `flatpak run` is its own sandbox with its own pid namespace, so pids
// collide and cannot name an instance or tell whether it lives: a random
// instance id names it, and the lock says whether it lives, since flock works
// across sandboxes on the shared filesystem. An app killed without running
// its destructor leaves its files behind with the lock free, and the next
// listing removes them. The pattern is Crafter.Review's LifetimeLock.
