feat: refactor LLM judge to dual-mode CLI/API and fix config test race

Refactor llm-judge.ts from raw API-only to dual-mode: CLI first
(spawns claude with --output-format text, unsets CLAUDECODE), API
fallback. Backend selectable via LLM_JUDGE_BACKEND env var.

Fix pre-existing race condition in config.rs tests where parallel
test execution caused env var mutations to interfere. Added static
Mutex to serialize env-mutating tests.
