systemd's Type=simple reports a unit "active" the moment its
ExecStart binary is exec()'d, which for bangerd happens well before
the daemon has read its config and bound /run/banger/bangerd.sock.
'banger system install' and 'banger system restart' both returned
inside that window, so the very next 'banger ...' command would hit
ensureDaemon, miss on a single ping, and exit with "service not
reachable; run sudo banger system restart" — the same restart that
had just succeeded. Smoke tripped over this on every run.
Add waitForDaemonReady: poll daemonPing for up to 15s after the
restart returns. Both the system install and restart paths now
block until the daemon is genuinely accepting RPCs, so the next
CLI invocation can talk to it without retrying.
