fix: Go server CPU optimization & resize control flag (#32)

* fix: optimize Go server CPU usage from 500%+ to efficient levels

Major performance improvements to resolve excessive CPU consumption:

**Critical Fixes:**
- Remove WebSocket busy loop that caused continuous CPU spinning
- Fix microsecond-level polling (100μs → 10ms) reducing 100x operations
- Replace ps subprocess calls with efficient kill(pid,0) syscalls
- Increase timer intervals (1s → 30s) for session status checks

**Optimizations:**
- Control FIFO polling: 100ms → 1s intervals
- Select timeout: 100ms → 1s to reduce unnecessary wakeups
- Smart status caching: skip checks for already-exited sessions
- Remove unused imports (os/exec, strconv)

**Impact:**
- Eliminates tight loops causing 10,000+ operations per second
- Reduces subprocess overhead from frequent ps command executions
- Changes from polling-based to efficient event-driven architecture
- Expected CPU usage reduction from 500%+ to levels comparable with Node.js version

* fix: prevent WebSocket channel close panic with sync.Once

- Add sync.Once to prevent double-closing of done channel
- Update handleTextMessage signature to accept close function
- Use closeOnceFunc for safe channel closure across goroutines

Fixes panic: 'close of closed channel' in WebSocket handler

* feat: add --do-not-allow-column-set flag to disable resizing for spawned sessions

**New Flag:**
- `--do-not-allow-column-set` (default: true) - Disables terminal resizing for spawned shells
- Only affects sessions created with `spawn_terminal=true`
- Detached sessions (command-line, API without spawn) always allow resizing

**Implementation:**
- Add `IsSpawned` field to session.Config and session.Info structs
- Track whether session was spawned in terminal vs detached
- Server checks flag + spawn status before allowing resize operations
- Returns descriptive error for blocked resize attempts

**Behavior:**
- Spawned sessions: Resize blocked when flag enabled (default)
- Detached sessions: Always allow resizing regardless of flag
- Existing sessions preserve their resize capabilities

**API Response for blocked resize:**
```json
{
  "success": false,
  "message": "Resizing is disabled for spawned sessions",
  "error": "resize_disabled_for_spawned_sessions"
}
```

* feat: extend --do-not-allow-column-set flag to block ALL session resizing

**Breaking Change:** Flag now affects both spawned AND detached sessions

**Changes:**
- Remove `sess.IsSpawned()` check in resize handler
- Block resizing for ALL sessions when flag is enabled (default: true)
- Update flag description: "Disable terminal resizing for all sessions (spawned and detached)"
- Update error message: "Terminal resizing is disabled by server configuration"
- Update error code: "resize_disabled_by_server"

**New Behavior:**
- `--do-not-allow-column-set=true` (default): NO resizing for any session type
- `--do-not-allow-column-set=false`: Allow resizing for all session types
- Applies uniformly to both spawned terminal windows and detached CLI sessions

**API Response for blocked resize:**
```json
{
  "success": false,
  "message": "Terminal resizing is disabled by server configuration",
  "error": "resize_disabled_by_server"
}
```
