multica_agent_host: daemon lifecycle via systemd; fix login guard (WDWL-22)

Found provisioning spaceship-earth:

- Login was not idempotent: `multica auth status` prints to stderr (0.6.5),
  and the guard read stdout only, so every run re-logged in and restarted
  the daemon. The guard now reads both streams; the status read is no_log
  because it echoes a token prefix.
- `multica daemon start` / `daemon restart` fork the daemon inside the
  caller's session (Ansible's SSH session scope), outside the systemd user
  unit, which stays inactive: the same orphan seen on haunted-mansion on
  2026-10-21. Start/restart now go through `systemctl --user`, after a
  daemon-reload when autostart was (re)registered. A daemon found running
  outside its unit is stopped first. The unit name is read from
  `autostart status`, so --profile hosts resolve their own unit.

spaceship-earth: second run changed=0, daemon in multica-daemon.service.
Not yet run against haunted-mansion.

A binary, config or credential change notifies a `systemctl --user restart`
handler, which is flushed *before* verification reads the daemon's state back.
The role never calls `multica daemon start` or `multica daemon restart`. Both
fork the daemon inside the caller's session (Ansible's SSH session scope),
outside the unit's cgroup. The unit then shows `inactive`, nothing supervises
the process, and a later `systemctl --user start` collides with it on
`daemon.lock`.
A converged host reports zero changed tasks.
