fix(server): add --detach and --pidfile for background/supervised mode

[hyeonggyu]

Summary

switchyard-server only runs in the foreground today, so it dies with the
launching terminal and offers no first-class way to run as a managed background
service. This adds a detached execution mode:

• --detach: re-executes the binary under the system setsid (a new session,
  stdio disconnected) before the Tokio runtime does significant work, then
  the parent exits and the child keeps serving. The detached child is immune to
  the launching terminal's job-control signals (Ctrl-Z / terminal close).
• --pidfile <PATH>: records the detached child's pid (defaults to
  <temp>/switchyard-server.pid) so operators can signal it later.

Implementation:

• crates/switchyard-server/src/daemon.rs (new): detach_into_background and
  write_pidfile. Uses the stable setsid binary rather than unstable std
  setsid features. --detach is stripped from the re-exec args to avoid a
  detach recursion.
• crates/switchyard-server/src/cli.rs: ServerArgs gains detach and
  pidfile (both pub(crate)).
• crates/switchyard-server/src/main.rs: detach runs before cli::run.

Test plan

• cargo build -p switchyard-server — clean, no warnings.
• switchyard-server --config routes.toml --port 4123 --detach --pidfile /tmp/sy.pid → parent exits (rc=0), child runs in its own session (SID == PID, PPID == 1), GET /health returns 200.
• kill -TERM <pid> (graceful drain, as a future stop would) → server exits, GET /health stops answering.

Out of scope (not in this PR)

The draft issue also proposed stop / status subcommands and systemd /
launchd service templates. This PR ships only --detach + --pidfile (the
minimal background-mode primitive); follow-ups can add process-control
subcommands and service templates on top of the pidfile.

Scope notes

• Unix-only detach (cfg(unix)); non-Unix keeps the existing foreground path.
• No change to request/response handling or routing; server behavior is
  identical once running, only the launch lifecycle changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added an option to run the server in the background.
  • Added configurable PID file support, with a default location in the system temporary directory.
  • The PID file is created automatically along with any missing parent directories.
• Bug Fixes
  • Startup failures during background execution are now reported and handled cleanly.

Walkthrough

Changes

Server daemon support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Daemon CLI contract crates/switchyard-server/src/cli.rs	Adds --detach and --pidfile options. The PID file defaults to the system temporary directory.
Detached startup flow crates/switchyard-server/src/daemon.rs, crates/switchyard-server/src/main.rs	Parses arguments before startup. Unix detachment re-executes the binary, disconnects standard streams, writes the child PID, and reports errors.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 4fee4

The PR adds detached execution and PID-file management, but the current implementation can break non-Unix builds, leave a background server running without a usable PID file, and allow a predictable PID-file path to overwrite another file through a symlink. The PR is not safe to merge until these issues are fixed.

Poem

A rabbit sees the server hop,
Into the background, never to stop.
A PID file marks its trail,
While detached ears catch every detail.
--pidfile guides the way,
And dawn brings service to the day.

In `@crates/switchyard-server/src/cli.rs`:
- Around line 19-24: Update crates/switchyard-server/src/cli.rs lines 19-24 in
default_pidfile to place the default PID file under a private runtime directory
instead of the predictable shared temporary directory. Update
crates/switchyard-server/src/daemon.rs lines 52-54 to validate the containing
directory, create the PID file atomically without following symlinks, and reject
unsafe existing PID files.

In `@crates/switchyard-server/src/daemon.rs`:
- Around line 39-42: Update the daemon detach flow around child.spawn and
write_pidfile so a child that cannot create its PID file is terminated and
reaped before the error propagates; only let the detached child continue and
exit the parent after write_pidfile succeeds, preserving normal serving behavior
on success.
- Around line 32-36: Update the detachment argument loop to use
std::env::args_os() and preserve OsString values when passing arguments to
child. Compare each argument against --detach using OsStr, while retaining the
existing filtering and child.arg behavior.

In `@crates/switchyard-server/src/main.rs`:
- Around line 20-24: Add Unix conditional compilation to the daemon module
declaration and the args.detach block calling daemon::detach_into_background.
Preserve foreground execution on non-Unix targets while retaining the existing
detachment and failure behavior on Unix.
