fix: Docker/cloud telemetry user ID stability (v2.17.1)

Fixes critical issue where Docker and cloud deployments generated new
anonymous user IDs on every container recreation, causing 100-200x
inflation in unique user counts.

Changes:
- Use host's boot_id for stable identification across container updates
- Auto-detect Docker (IS_DOCKER=true) and 8 cloud platforms
- Defensive fallback chain: boot_id → combined signals → generic ID
- Zero configuration required

Impact:
- Resolves ~1000x/month inflation in stdio mode
- Resolves ~180x/month inflation in HTTP mode (6 releases/day)
- Improves telemetry accuracy: 3,996 apparent users → ~2,400-2,800 actual

Testing:
- 18 new unit tests for boot_id functionality
- 16 new integration tests for Docker/cloud detection
- All 60 telemetry tests passing (100%)
