feat(cells): Phase 1 — permission sync between connected PICs

When PIC A updates service sharing permissions, it immediately pushes
the mirrored state to PIC B over the WireGuard tunnel so B's UI shows
what A is sharing with it in real time.

Architecture:
- Push model: update_permissions() → _push_permissions_to_remote() →
  POST /api/cells/peer-sync/permissions on remote cell
- Auth: source IP must be inside a known cell's vpn_subnet (WireGuard
  tunnel proves identity) + body's from_public_key must match stored key
- Mirror semantics: our inbound (what we share) → their outbound view
- Non-fatal: push failures set pending_push=True; replay_pending_pushes()
  retries at startup so offline cells catch up on reconnect
- add_connection() also pushes initial state so remote sees permissions
  immediately on the first connect

New fields on cell_links.json records (lazy-migrated):
  remote_api_url, last_push_status, last_push_at, last_push_error,
  pending_push, last_remote_update_at

New endpoint: POST /api/cells/peer-sync/permissions

30 new tests (1101 total).
