feat: add /queue command to queue prompts without interrupting (#2191)

Adds /queue <prompt> (alias /q) that queues a message for the next
turn while the agent is busy, without interrupting the current run.

- CLI: /queue <prompt> puts it in _pending_input for the next turn
- Gateway: /queue <prompt> creates a pending MessageEvent on the
  adapter, picked up after the current agent run finishes
- Enter still interrupts as usual (no behavior change)
- /queue with no prompt shows usage
- /queue when agent is idle tells user to just type normally
