fix(suspend): only inhibit for SSH-spawned zellij sessions
A local zellij session (sway terminal, attended) shouldn't keep the laptop awake — that's the user actively in front of the machine, and normal suspend behaviour should apply. Only zellij sessions that were spawned from an SSH context need the persistent inhibit, so detach + disconnect leaves the host awake until the session ends. Use /proc/<pid>/environ to detect SSH-spawned zellij: the daemonised zellij server is exec'd by the client and Linux preserves the exec-time environment for the life of the process, so SSH_CONNECTION= survives the SSH session closing. Walk every running `zellij` pid; hold the lock as long as at least one of them has SSH_CONNECTION in its environ. The .path unit still fires on every zellij socket creation, but if no SSH-spawned zellij exists the watcher exits immediately and the service stops with no harm done — a couple of cheap process spawns per local session start, no inhibitor side-effects.
