Pull request overview
This PR adds anonymous usage telemetry to goose using PostHog, firing once per session creation rather than session start. Users can opt out via the GOOSE_TELEMETRY_OFF=1 environment variable.
Key changes:
- Adds privacy-preserving telemetry collection (OS, arch, version, provider, model)
- Implements opt-out mechanism via environment variable
- Uses fire-and-forget async pattern to avoid blocking session creation

This records anon metrics on session create (vs on start) to https://posthog.com/
for this to work, needs to have opt in/out for the setting, and wording changes around what data goes where
(this is similar to what other OSS projects do)
Opt-out:
GOOSE_TELEMETRY_OFF=1@zanesq if we are to use this - will need to opt out of course (separate to OTEL in this case).
