Add subscription detection and usage badge to status bar

- Detect user subscription type (Pro/Max) via CLI initialize request
- Cache subscription type in globalState for persistence
- Show clickable usage badge with chart icon in status bar
- Plan users: show "Max Plan" badge, opens live usage view
- API users: show cost badge, opens recent usage history
- Badge opens terminal in editor with ccusage command
