test(e2e): add minimal startup E2E tests

Add E2E tests for LangBot startup flow:
- tests/e2e/utils/config_factory.py: minimal config generation
- tests/e2e/utils/process_manager.py: LangBot subprocess management
- tests/e2e/conftest.py: E2E fixtures (session-scoped process)
- tests/e2e/test_startup.py: 12 tests for startup verification

Tests verify:
- boot.py + stages execution
- database initialization (SQLite)
- API availability
- migrations applied

Uses embedded databases (SQLite, Chroma) - no external dependencies.
