feat: implement 10-step SIGTERM graceful shutdown sequence

Implements the full ordered shutdown sequence so the mothership drains
cleanly without data loss on SIGTERM (Docker stop, Kubernetes termination).

Shutdown sequence (30s hard deadline):
1. Set shutting_down=true; ingestion server returns HTTP 503 to new WebSocket upgrade requests
2. Broadcast {type:'shutdown', reconnect_in_ms:30000} to all dashboard WebSocket clients
3. Cancel fusion loop context (stops fusion goroutine)
4. Drain signal processing pipeline: wait for in-flight CSI frames (max 2s)
5. Flush in-memory baselines to SQLite in a single transaction
6. Sync CSI recording buffer to disk (close writer, fsync)
7. Close all node WebSocket connections with normal close frame (1000)
8. Write {type:'system', description:'Mothership stopped'} event to events table
9. PRAGMA wal_checkpoint(FULL) to collapse WAL into main DB file
10. sqlite3.Close()

Each step gets its own log line: '[SHUTDOWN] Step N/10 — ...'
Steps that fail log ERROR but do not abort remaining steps.
Exit code 0 if all steps completed within deadline; exit code 1 if deadline exceeded.
