identify signed-in users on every app startup

Browse source 
Previously identify() only fired during the OAuth completion flow, so
existing installs (signed in before analytics shipped) and every cold
start of v0.3.4+ would emit main-process events under the anonymous
installation_id until the user happened to re-sign-in.

- Main does it from `apps/main/src/oauth-handler.ts:285` (after `getBillingInfo()` resolves) — this is the load-bearing call, since main always runs.
- Renderer mirrors via `apps/renderer/src/hooks/useAnalyticsIdentity.ts` listening on the `oauth:didConnect` IPC event.
- Main also calls `alias()` so events emitted under the anonymous installation_id are linked to the identified user retroactively.
- **On every app startup**: main re-identifies if rowboat tokens exist (`packages/core/src/analytics/identify.ts`, called from `apps/main/src/main.ts` whenReady). Idempotent — PostHog merges person properties on duplicate identifies. This catches users who installed before analytics existed, and refreshes person properties (plan/status) on every launch.
- **On rowboat sign-out**: `posthog.reset()` in both processes; future events resolve to the installation_id again.
- **`email`** is set on `identify` from main only (sourced from `/v1/me`). Person properties are server-side, so the renderer's events resolve to the same record without redundantly setting it.
