github-actions[bot] 85d601a707 [AI] Cache the CLI's local budget between invocations
Every `actual <cmd>` call currently delta-syncs the budget with the
sync server via `api.downloadBudget`, which hits the server's
500-req/min rate limit on scripted workflows. Actual is local-first:
once the budget is on disk, most read commands do not need fresh
server data.

Introduce a CLI-only cache layer inside `withConnection` that
decides per invocation whether to skip, sync, or re-download:

- Cache state lives at `{dataDir}/.actual-cli/{syncId}/state.json`,
  keyed by `syncId` to avoid the chicken-and-egg of not knowing the
  on-disk `budgetId` before the first download. The on-disk id is
  resolved via `api.getBudgets()` and persisted after first download.
- Read commands (list, balance, query run, …) skip the `/sync`
  call while `now - lastSyncedAt < cacheTtl`. Write commands
  (create, update, delete, set-*, etc.) sync before and after the
  operation to keep server state consistent.
- Encrypted budgets force a sync per call since `api/load-budget`
  does not re-verify the password.
- New `proper-lockfile`-backed shared/exclusive lock serializes
  writes while allowing parallel reads. Reader markers live in
  `{meta}/readers/`; writers sweep stale markers by PID.

New `actual sync` command with three modes: default (sync now),
`--status` (print cache age, TTL, stale flag), `--clear` (delete
cache, holding the exclusive lock to avoid racing writers).

New config surface, following the existing flag → env → config file
→ default precedence chain:

- `--cache-ttl <s>` / `ACTUAL_CACHE_TTL` / `cacheTtl` (default 60)
- `--refresh` / `--no-cache`
- `--lock-timeout <s>` / `ACTUAL_LOCK_TIMEOUT` / `lockTimeout` (10)
- `--no-lock` / `ACTUAL_NO_LOCK` / `noLock`

Every `withConnection` call site now passes an explicit
`{ mutates: boolean, skipBudget?: boolean }` so read/write intent is
visible at the edge.

The old `budgets sync` subcommand is removed — it silently diverged
from the new top-level `actual sync`.
