feat: indices E2E integration - auto-clone, install routing, workspace inheritance

Fix 6 gaps that prevented end-to-end usability of the [indices] feature:

1. Auto-clone custom git indices on first build: after ensure_project_index_dir()
   seeds .mcpp/.xlings.json, check if .mcpp/data/ is empty and trigger
   xlings update to actually clone the repos before dependency resolution.

2. Custom git index install routing: use project-level xlings env
   (XLINGS_PROJECT_DIR) when installing packages from custom git indices,
   so they land in .mcpp/data/xpkgs/ and the custom index clone is visible.

3. Local path index install flow: remove the dead-end fall-through for local
   path indices. Local indices are for DISCOVERY only (finding xpkg.lua);
   actual artifacts come from URLs in the lua via normal install flow.

4. Workspace [indices] inheritance: members without their own [indices]
   section now inherit from the workspace root, matching the existing
   pattern for toolchain and target overrides.

5. Deterministic lockfile hashes: replace placeholder "sha:<from-xlings>"
   with fnv1a hash of namespace:name@version. Honest about what we have.

6. Lock skip for custom indices: verified that the existing install_path
   check already prevents re-download on subsequent builds when packages
   are installed, so no additional wiring needed.
