🤖 Prevent SSH workspace deletion with unpushed refs (#460)

## Problem

SSH workspaces are independent git clones. Unlike local worktrees (which
share `.git`), deleting an SSH workspace with unpushed commits
permanently loses that work. The deletion code only checked for
uncommitted changes, not unpushed refs.

## Solution

Added unpushed refs check to `SSHRuntime.deleteWorkspace()`:
- Checks for unpushed commits when `force=false`
- Only checks when git remotes are configured (no remote = no concept of
"unpushed")
- Returns error when unpushed commits exist, requiring `force=true` to
proceed

## Performance Optimization

Combined all pre-deletion checks into a single bash script to minimize
SSH round trips:
- **Before:** 5 separate exec calls (check exists, check dirty, check
remotes, check unpushed, delete)
- **After:** 2 exec calls (combined checks, delete)
- **Reduction:** 60% fewer SSH round trips

Exit code mapping:
- 0: Safe to delete
- 1: Uncommitted changes
- 2: Unpushed commits
- 3: Doesn't exist (idempotent)

## Testing

Added integration tests for SSH workspaces:
- `should fail to delete SSH workspace with unpushed refs without force
flag`
- `should delete SSH workspace with unpushed refs when force flag is
set`

All 16 deletion tests pass (9 local + 7 SSH).
