Implement Phase 1: Foundation for improved maintainability and testability

- Add standardized error handling package (internal/errors)
  - Sentinel errors for common conditions
  - Error wrapping and chaining support
  - MultiError for batch operations

- Add comprehensive test utilities package (internal/testutil)
  - File/directory test helpers
  - Assertion functions for common test patterns
  - Mock SSH server for integration testing
  - Test data generators

- Add unit tests for core packages
  - Protocol package: delimiter validation and usage tests
  - Config package: comprehensive configuration tests
  - Discovery package: server discovery method tests
  - IO/FS package: stats tracking and grep processor tests

All tests passing. This establishes a solid foundation for further improvements.
