Add status-aware notifications, edit mode flags, job ID filtering

Notifications now use ExecStopPost (fires on success and failure) with
status-aware icons/messages instead of ExecStartPost (success only).
Desktop uses dialog-information/dialog-error, email uses sendmail.
Flags (i, e=addr) are persisted as # SYSTAB_FLAGS= comments in service
files and exposed in edit mode via ID:flags syntax. Edit mode validates
schedules before applying (re-edit loop like crontab -e). -S and -L
accept an optional job ID to filter to a single job. Extract trim()
helper to replace inline whitespace-stripping idiom.

No build step. The script requires `bash`, `systemctl`, and optionally `notify-send` (for `-i`) and `sendmail`/`msmtp` (for `-m`).
## Architecture
The script has two modes controlled by CLI flags:
- **Job creation** (`-t <time> [-c <cmd> | -f <script> | stdin]`): Generates a systemd `.service` + `.timer` pair with a 6-char hex short ID, reloads the daemon, and enables/starts the timer. Time specs are parsed via `parse_time` which handles natural language (`every 5 minutes`), `date -d` relative/absolute times, and raw systemd OnCalendar values. One-time jobs get `Persistent=false` and `RemainAfterElapse=no` (auto-unload after firing). All jobs log stdout/stderr to the journal via `SyslogIdentifier`.
- **Job creation** (`-t <time> [-c <cmd> | -f <script> | stdin]`): Generates a systemd `.service` + `.timer` pair with a 6-char hex short ID, reloads the daemon, and enables/starts the timer. Time specs are parsed via `parse_time` which handles natural language (`every 5 minutes`), `date -d` relative/absolute times, and raw systemd OnCalendar values. One-time jobs get `Persistent=false` and `RemainAfterElapse=no` (auto-unload after firing). All jobs log stdout/stderr to the journal via `SyslogIdentifier`. Notifications (`-i` desktop, `-m` email) use `ExecStopPost` so they fire on both success and failure with status-aware icons/messages. Notification flags are persisted in the service file as a `# SYSTAB_FLAGS=` comment.
- **Management** (`-P`, `-R`, `-E`, `-L`, `-S`, `-C` — mutually exclusive):
- `-P <id>` / `-R <id>`: Pause (stop+disable) or resume (enable+start) a job's timer.
- `-E`: Opens `$EDITOR` with a pipe-separated crontab (`ID | SCHEDULE | COMMAND`). On save, diffs against the original to apply creates (ID=`new`), deletes (removed lines), updates (changed schedule/command), and pause/resume (comment/uncomment lines).
- `-L [filter]`: Query `journalctl` logs for managed jobs (both unit messages and command output).
- `-S`: Show timer status via `systemctl`, including short IDs and disabled state.
- `-E`: Opens `$EDITOR` with a pipe-separated crontab (`ID[:FLAGS] | SCHEDULE | COMMAND`). Notification flags are appended to the ID with `:` (`i` = desktop, `e=addr` = email, comma-separated for both). On save, diffs against the original to apply creates (ID=`new`), deletes (removed lines), updates (changed schedule/command/flags), and pause/resume (comment/uncomment lines).
- `-L [id] [filter]`: Query `journalctl` logs for managed jobs (both unit messages and command output). Optional job ID to filter to a single job.
- `-S [id]`: Show timer status via `systemctl`, including short IDs and disabled state. Optional job ID to show a single job.
- `-C`: Interactively clean up elapsed one-time timers (removes unit files from disk).
Key functions: `parse_time` (time spec → OnCalendar), `create_job` (generates unit files), `edit_jobs` (crontab-style edit with diff-and-apply), `get_managed_services`/`get_managed_timers` (find tagged units), `clean_jobs` (remove elapsed one-time timers), `pause_job`/`resume_job` (disable/enable timers).

## Notes
- ShellCheck can be used for linting: `shellcheck systab`.
- Edit mode uses `|` as the field delimiter (not tabs or spaces) to allow multi-word schedules.
- Edit mode uses `|` as the field delimiter (not tabs or spaces) to allow multi-word schedules. Notification flags use `:` after the ID (e.g., `a1b2c3:i,e=user@host`).
- Notification flags are persisted as `# SYSTAB_FLAGS=...` comments in service files and as `ExecStopPost=` lines using `$SERVICE_RESULT`/`$EXIT_STATUS` for status-aware messages.
- Journal logs are queried with `USER_UNIT` OR `SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER` to capture both systemd messages and command output.

systab creates systemd `.service` and `.timer` unit file pairs in `~/.config/systemd/user/`. Each managed unit is tagged with a `# SYSTAB_MANAGED` marker comment. One-time jobs auto-unload after firing. Job output (stdout/stderr) is captured in the systemd journal and viewable via `systab -L`.
Notifications use `ExecStopPost` so they fire after the service completes regardless of success or failure. Desktop notifications show `dialog-information` or `dialog-error` icons based on `$SERVICE_RESULT`. Notification flags are persisted as `# SYSTAB_FLAGS=` comments in service files, so they survive across edit sessions.
