Add enabled toggle to AutoAgent, simplify unconscious scheduling

- AutoAgent.enabled: universal toggle for any auto agent
- Subconscious: should_trigger checks auto.enabled
- Unconscious: simplified from consolidation-plan-driven budgets to
  simple loop with cooldown. Static agent list, max 2 concurrent.
- TUI: unconscious agents shown in F3 subconscious screen under
  separator, with enabled/running/runs display
