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-priv-sock
Wire types for the **`hive-priv` privileged-helper socket**
(`/run/hive/priv.sock`) — the contract between `hive-priv` (the root helper,
server) and `hive-c0re` (client, via its `priv_client`).
## Why it's its own crate
Split out of `hive-sh4re` so `hive-priv` — a **root-privileged** binary —
depends on just this narrow protocol crate instead of the much larger
daemon-shared crate. Two wins: fewer dependencies in a root process's supply
chain, and a small, self-contained interface makes the privilege boundary this
crate encodes easier to audit. Mirrors `hive-host-sock`'s split for the host
admin socket.
## Shape
Serde-derived request/response types only — no server or client logic. Both
sides import them so the shapes stay in sync. See `docs/boundary.md` +
`docs/security.md` for the privilege boundary these types sit on, and
`hive-priv/README` for the helper itself.
