refactor(sessionstore): a transcript's durable record leaves the agent

Session persistence moves from internal/runtime/agent to
internal/state/sessionstore: the Session type, its checkpoint and event
log, listing sidecars, branches, leases, recovery copies, migration, and
the compaction and subagent records saved beside a transcript. The agent
keeps the loop and imports the store; history, historycatalog, migration,
guardian, instanceid and sessiontool now reach the store instead of the
agent, which drops layer-order from 26 to 18.

Tests that exercise only store internals moved with it; the rest stay in
agent and qualify the moved names. DigestSessionMessages and
CompactionStateSchemaV1 are exported for the agent tests that build
legacy fixtures.

Baseline: carried with -allow-widen. The moved files bring their essay,
file-size, complexity and orphan debt unchanged under new paths, and
boot.go, acp/service.go, serve/serve.go, agent/task.go and
control/controller.go each gain the one import line the split costs.
