feat(tasks): Add task pool start/stop toggle

- Add task-pool-state.ts for shared pause/resume state
- Add /api/tasks/pool/status, pause, resume endpoints
- Add Start/Stop Pool toggle button to TasksDashboard
- Spinner stops when pool is closed
- Fix is_active column name in store-discovery.ts
- Fix missing active column in task-service.ts claimTask
- Auto-refresh every 15 seconds
