Subject: add hexai-tmux-edit: tmux popup editor for AI agent prompts

New tool that opens $EDITOR in a tmux popup for composing longer prompts
when working with AI CLI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Amp, Aider, etc.).
Captures existing prompt text from the target pane, pre-fills the editor,
and sends edited text back via tmux send-keys. Config-driven agent
detection via regex patterns in [tmux_edit] config section.
