refactor: Replace JSON registry with SQLite database

Replace the JSON-based project registry with SQLite using SQLAlchemy ORM
for improved reliability, concurrency handling, and simpler code.

Changes:
- registry.py: Complete rewrite from JSON to SQLite storage
  - Remove manual file locking (RegistryLock class with msvcrt/fcntl)
  - Remove atomic write logic (temp file + rename pattern)
  - Remove backup/recovery logic for corrupted JSON
  - Add SQLAlchemy Project model with name, path, created_at columns
  - Add singleton database engine pattern (_get_engine)
  - Add session context manager (_get_session) for transactions
  - Simplify from 493 to 367 lines of code

- CLAUDE.md: Update documentation to reflect new storage

Storage location change:
- Before: Platform-specific paths
  - Windows: %APPDATA%\autonomous-coder\projects.json
  - macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/autonomous-coder/projects.json
  - Linux: ~/.config/autonomous-coder/projects.json
- After: Unified path for all platforms
  - ~/.autocoder/registry.db

Benefits:
- SQLite handles concurrency automatically (no manual locking needed)
- Atomic transactions built-in (no temp file + rename dance)
- Crash-safe by default (no backup/recovery code needed)
- Consistent with existing features.db pattern in api/database.py
- Data persists across app updates (stored in user home, not project)

All public API functions maintain their existing signatures, so no
changes are required in the 7 consumer files (start.py,
autonomous_agent_demo.py, and 5 server routers).
