feat(zellij): add session functions, convenience commands, and smart completions

- Use functions for attach/delete/kill to enable session-aware completions
- Add zr, zrf, ze convenience functions with conflict detection
- Improve z prefix collision check (aliases, functions, commands)
- Cache completions synchronously on first load, background on updates
- Update README to document new functions and completion behavior

# zellij
This plugin provides aliases and completions for [zellij](https://zellij.dev/), the terminal workspace
(multiplexer). To use it, add `zellij` to the plugins array in your zshrc file.

## Aliases
| Alias (default) | Alias (with `z`) | Command | Description |
| ---------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| `zj` | `z` | `zellij` | Zellij command |
| `zja` | `za` | `zellij attach` | Attach to a session |
| `zjd` | `zd` | `zellij delete-session` | Delete a session |
| `zjda` | `zda` | `zellij delete-all-sessions` | Delete all sessions |
| `zjk` | `zk` | `zellij kill-session` | Kill a session |
| `zjka` | `zka` | `zellij kill-all-sessions` | Kill all sessions |
| `zjl` | `zl` | `zellij list-sessions` | List sessions |
| `zjr` | `zr` | `zellij run` | Run a command in a pane |
| `zjs` | `zs` | `zellij -s` | Start a named session |
| `zjda` | `zda` | `zellij delete-all-sessions` | Delete all sessions |
| `zjka` | `zka` | `zellij kill-all-sessions` | Kill all sessions |
| `zjr` | — | `zellij run` | Run a command in a pane |
## Functions
| Function (default) | Function (with `z`) | Command | Description |
| ------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------- |
| `zja` | `za` | `zellij attach` | Attach to a session |
| `zjd` | `zd` | `zellij delete-session` | Delete a session |
| `zjk` | `zk` | `zellij kill-session` | Kill a session |
The following convenience functions are always available (unless the name is already taken):
| Function | Command | Description |
| -------- | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `zr` | `zellij run --` | Run a command in a pane |
| `zrf` | `zellij run --floating --` | Run a command in a floating pane |
| `ze` | `zellij edit` | Edit a file in a pane |
## Completions
This plugin caches the zellij completion script in the background (using the same approach as
the [gh](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/tree/master/plugins/gh) plugin). On first load the
cache is generated; completions become available in the next shell session.
This plugin caches the zellij completion script. On first load the cache is generated
synchronously; subsequent updates (when the `zellij` binary is newer than the cache) happen in
the background.
Session-aware completions are provided for `attach`, `delete-session`, and `kill-session`
functions — only relevant sessions (all, running, or exited) are offered.
