feat: implement session activity tracking for time-based cleanup

Implements full tracking of session activity (message send/receive) to enable
cleanup of inactive sessions based on configurable time thresholds.

**What's new:**
1. **SessionActivityTracker** (src/Signal/session-activity-tracker.ts)
   - In-memory cache for activity timestamps (fast, <0.1ms overhead)
   - Periodic flush to disk (every 60s, configurable)
   - Batch writes for efficiency

2. **Activity Recording**
   - Records activity on message send (messages-send.ts)
   - Records activity on message receive (messages-recv.ts)
   - Tracks both group and individual conversations

3. **Enhanced Cleanup Logic** (session-cleanup.ts)
   - Uses real activity timestamps for decisions
   - Implements 3 cleanup rules:
     * LID orphans: inactive > 24h (configurable)
     * Secondary devices: inactive > 15 days (configurable)
     * Primary devices: inactive > 30 days (configurable)

**Configuration:**
- BAILEYS_SESSION_ACTIVITY_ENABLED=true (default)
- BAILEYS_SESSION_ACTIVITY_FLUSH_MS=60000 (1 minute)
- BAILEYS_SESSION_SECONDARY_INACTIVE_DAYS=15
- BAILEYS_SESSION_PRIMARY_INACTIVE_DAYS=30
- BAILEYS_SESSION_LID_ORPHAN_HOURS=24

**Performance:**
- Overhead per message: <0.1ms (just Map.set() in memory)
- Disk I/O: Batched every 60s (minimal impact)
- Memory: ~100KB per 1000 active sessions in cache

**Safety:**
- Does NOT affect connections or message delivery
- Signal Protocol auto-recreates deleted sessions
- Runs in low-traffic hours (3am default)
- Graceful degradation if tracker unavailable
