feat(cli): implement wraith connect subcommand with clap derive

All CLI flags from client.md: --server, --peer, --transport (default tcp),
--identity, --socks5 (default 127.0.0.1:1080), --forward (repeatable),
--remote-forward (repeatable), --proxy, --iroh-relay, --tls-server-name,
--insecure. Env var defaults: WRAITH_SERVER, WRAITH_IDENTITY. Validates
--server required for tcp/tls, --peer required for iroh, --identity required.
Warns on --proxy with --transport tcp (ADR-019). Translates args to
ConnectOptions and calls ClientSession::new(opts).run().await. Errors to
stderr with non-zero exit.
