* fix(daemon): use brew prefix symlink for self-restart so Linux Cellar deletion does not orphan runtimes

After brew upgrade on Linux, os.Executable() resolves /proc/self/exe to
the Cellar path (e.g. .../Cellar/multica/0.2.9/bin/multica), which
brew cleanup deletes. The previous IsBrewInstall() short-circuit skipped
EvalSymlinks to 'preserve' the symlink, but on Linux there was nothing
to preserve - the path was already resolved.

Use cli.GetBrewPrefix() to resolve the stable symlink path
<brewPrefix>/bin/multica for brew installs. Fall back to
EvalSymlinks(os.Executable()) with a warning log when GetBrewPrefix()
returns empty (brew binary missing from PATH).

Introduce package-level function vars (isBrewInstall, getBrewPrefix) so
the daemon test can override them without modifying the cli package.

Closes #1624

* fix(daemon): harden brew-prefix fallback and document the WHY

When `brew --prefix` is unavailable but the binary is under a known Cellar
root, recover the prefix from cli.MatchKnownBrewPrefix and target
<prefix>/bin/multica instead of falling back to the resolved Cellar path
(which brew cleanup just deleted).

- Extract knownBrewPrefixes + MatchKnownBrewPrefix in cli/update.go and
  reuse from IsBrewInstall to keep one source of truth for the install-root
  list.
- Add a WHY comment above the brew branch in triggerRestart explaining the
  /proc/self/exe -> Cellar -> deleted-by-brew-cleanup chain.
- Cover both fallback paths (matched / unmatched) in daemon_test.go.
