feat: implement CSI simulator Go CLI for hardware-free testing

Implements a complete CSI simulator CLI that connects to the mothership
as virtual nodes and streams synthetic CSI frames for automated
integration testing without ESP32 hardware.

CLI Implementation (mothership/cmd/sim/):
- main.go: CLI entry point with all required flags (--mothership, --nodes,
  --walkers, --rate, --duration, --seed, --space, --ble, --verify,
  --noise-sigma, --wall, --output-csv)
- generator.go: synthetic CSI frame generation with proper binary format
- walker.go: random walk and path-following simulation
- verify.go: blob count verification with exit code reporting

Features:
- Virtual nodes connect via WebSocket with hello/health/BLE messages
- Synthetic CSI frames match Phase 1 protocol (24-byte header + I/Q payload)
- Configurable noise sigma for I/Q generation
- Wall definitions affecting path loss model
- CSV ground truth output for offline analysis
- Seed-based reproducibility for testing
- Verification mode for CI smoke testing

Physics Model (mothership/internal/simulator/):
- propagation.go: two-ray model (direct + reflection) with wall attenuation
- physics.go: path loss, RSSI computation, Fresnel zone calculations
- Reusable package shared with pre-deployment simulator

Tests:
- Binary header format validation (magic, version, fields in correct positions)
- RSSI range validation for given distances
- I/Q clamping to int8 range [-127, 127]
- Hello message format validation
- Verification mode blob detection
- Seed reproducibility for identical walker paths
- CSV output format validation
- Wall parsing validation
