Subject: [PATCH] Add mcp-master systemd service

Runs the MCP v2 master as a systemd service on rift. Uses
ConditionPathExists so the unit is a no-op on worker nodes
(like orion) that import mcp.nix but don't have the binary.

Starts after mcp-agent.service. Security hardened like the agent
but with ProtectHome=true (master doesn't need /run/user).
