🤖 feat: separate data directories for dev and prod modes (#573)

When running cmux via `make start` (development mode), the data
directory is now `~/.cmux-dev` instead of `~/.cmux`. This prevents
development state from interfering with production state.

## Changes

- Set `CMUX_DEV_MODE=1` environment variable in the `start` Make target
- Modified `getCmuxHome()` to append `-dev` suffix when
`CMUX_DEV_MODE=1`
- Preserves existing `CMUX_TEST_ROOT` behavior for test isolation

## Testing

Verified with `make typecheck` - all type checks pass.

_Generated with `cmux`_
