feat: hot-reload config on file changes

Feature Request

Config is read once at startup. Editing opencode.json or opencode.yaml while running requires a restart to pick up changes (new providers, model switches, etc.).

Suggested Fix

Add a file watcher on the config file that hot-reloads on disk changes without requiring a restart.

I've verified this doesn't already exist
