swarm: show each agent's effective model and effort, and where they came from

Each agent now reports the model and effort it runs on, and where each
comes from (`swarm`, `agent_nix`, `local_file` or `default`), in its
turn-state header on `$SWARM.agent-state.<agent>`: `effort`,
`model_source` and `effort_source` join `model`. The shared
`swarm_queue_client::agent_inference::{Effective, Source}` types spell
those fields for both ends.

The Bus keeps a source next to the model and effort. `Bus::new` takes it
from the local fallback chain (`harness_state::local_model` /
`local_effort`, which now return the source with the value), a `/model`
or `/effort` pick sets `local_file`, and the swarm poller sets `swarm`
or, on a clear, the local chain's source. A swarm value equal to the one
the agent already runs is now applied once, so the source moves to
`swarm` and the header is republished; before, `next()` skipped it as
unchanged.

swarm-controller subscribes to every agent's header with the reader
grant it already holds for the state relay, and keeps the latest
inference fields per agent in memory (`inference::Reported`).
`GET /api/agents/{name}/inference` now answers
`{configured, effective}`, `effective` being `null` until the agent's
first header with these fields since the controller started.
`swarmctl agent inference get` prints both; `set` reads `configured`.

The web UI's model picker doesn't use it.
- `get` shows each field, naming the unset ones.
- `get` shows each field, naming the unset ones, and then the model and
effort the agent reports running on, each with where it comes from.
- `clear` removes every field; the agent goes back to its own values.
The full flag reference is [`swarmctl-cli.md`](../tools/swarmctl-cli.md).
## What an agent runs on
`get` shows what the agent runs on next to what the swarm sets:
```text
model: opus
effort: (not set; the agent's own)
subagent_models: (not set; the agent's own)
running model: opus (swarm)
running effort: medium (local_file)
```
Each running value names where it comes from:
| source | meaning |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `swarm` | the value set here |
| `agent_nix` | `services.hyperhive.agent.model` or `effortLevel` in the agent's agent.nix |
| `local_file` | a `/model` or `/effort` pick in the agent's web UI |
| `default` | the harness's built-in default (`haiku`, `medium`) |
When the agent starts without a swarm value, its agent.nix model wins over
its `/model` pick, and its `/effort` pick wins over its agent.nix effort.
The agent reports these whenever they change. swarm-controller keeps only
what it has received since it started, so after a controller restart `get`
shows `running: not reported…` for an agent until its next change (its next
turn, or a setting changing).
## When an agent picks a change up

`effective` comes from the agent's turn-state header on

`model`, `effort`, `model_source` and `effort_source`. swarm-controller
subscribes to every agent's header with the reader grant it already holds for
