atlas 4017a57350 docs(#2627): add READMEs for hive-jobq + the socket wire crates
Adds crate READMEs (matching the hive-claude precedent) and wires
readme = "README.md" into each Cargo.toml [package] for hive-jobq,
hive-host-sock, and hive-priv-sock — the crates squarely in the infra
lane. Each README leads with purpose + when-to-use and points at the
crate-root //! docs for depth rather than duplicating them.

First increment of the per-crate-README effort; the shape here is the
proposed template for the remaining crates (see issue discussion).

# hive-host-sock
Wire types for the **host admin socket** (`/run/hyperhive/host.sock`) — the
host-control protocol spoken between the `hivectl` operator CLI and the
`hive-c0re` daemon.
## Why it's its own crate
Re-homed out of `hive-sh4re` so a standalone `hivectl` depends on **just this
protocol crate** instead of the whole daemon-shared crate. `hivectl` drives the
full hive (spawn / kill / destroy / rebuild / deploy) over this socket without
linking `hive-c0re`; keeping the request/response shapes here is what makes that
thin dependency possible.
## Shape
Serde-derived request/response enums for the host admin protocol. The larger
shared payload types some variants reference (`Approval`, `AgentStatusRow`,
`jobs::DagView`) stay in `hive-sh4re` — this crate is only the protocol
envelope, no server or client implementation.
See `docs/boundary.md` (host admin socket access) for the trust model around who
may connect to the socket, and `hive-priv-sock` for the sibling split on the
privileged-helper socket.
