v1.1.0 — notifier installer, remind checks, no more tagging

Better Dontforget v1.1.0

Bundles the TUI/CLI polish (Phase 9) with the notifier installer, remind status
check, and the removal of low-value automatic AI tagging.

Added

• bdf install-notifier / bdf uninstall-notifier — install and enable the
  systemd user timer automatically (detects your installed binary; no manual
  cp of unit files).
• remind/ask/q (and capturing a note with --remind) now print a hint to
  install or start the notifier when reminders can't fire.

Changed

• remind output streamlined (no separator/score line; shows the answer plus a
  dim ↳ from #id).
• remind recall always searches your literal question words (not only AI
  keywords).

Removed

• Automatic AI tagging on capture. Tags added little value (search/recall use the
  raw text). The ai_tags column is retained for compatibility.

Fixed

• TUI keyboard navigation: table focused on launch; / focuses search and
  single-key bindings work again.
• --help and config show reflect the invoked alias (bdf vs
  better-dontforget).

See CHANGELOG.md for full details.
