Add multi-account support with automatic account routing

Implements multi-account support allowing users to configure multiple
GitHub accounts with automatic switching based on repository context.

Key features:
- Account configuration via JSON file with --accounts-config flag
- Automatic account selection based on organization or repository patterns
- Environment variable expansion for tokens (e.g., ${GITHUB_WORK_TOKEN})
- Three matcher types: org (organization), repo_pattern (wildcards), all
- Backward compatible: single GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN still works
- Default account fallback when no match found

Implementation:
- pkg/accounts: Core account routing logic with Config, Router, and matcher system
- Comprehensive test coverage with multiple matching scenarios
- CLI flag: --accounts-config <path-to-json>
- Example configuration in accounts.example.json

Use cases:
- Work + personal GitHub accounts (EMU-friendly)
- Multiple organization access
- Repository-specific authentication

Fixes #1940
