feat: add process runner and status indicator

Implement runner module for spawning and managing watchexec child processes
via vim.fn.jobstart with stdout/stderr piping and ANSI stripping. Add
indicator module for displaying a small non-focusable float that shows the
last command outcome (success/failure) when the main window is hidden.
