Add session persistence and Cmd+K command palette

Workspace auto-saves every 30s and on exit, restores all tabs on
launch. Sessions persist drawing elements, SVG source, canvas state,
and metadata to ~/Library/Application Support/agcanvas/workspace.json.
Manual save via Cmd+S.

Command palette (Cmd+K) with fuzzy search over all commands: session
management, tool switching, view toggles, canvas operations. Arrow
keys to navigate, Enter to execute, Esc to dismiss.
