feat(mesh): assistant config RPCs + live toggle + Ollama detect (#50)

Phase 2 backend. AssistantConfig is now live-updatable (RwLock) so the UI
toggle applies without a listener restart. New RPCs:
- mesh.assistant-status  -> {enabled, model, trusted_only, default_model,
  ollama_detected, models[]} (probes local Ollama :11434/api/tags)
- mesh.assistant-configure -> set enabled/model/trusted_only live + persist

MeshService::assistant_config / configure_assistant. Compiles clean.
