Renamed from claudeline

This project used to be called claudeline. Upgrading through Homebrew or `apt upgrade` moves an existing install to ailine, and the `claudeline` command stays available as a link to `ailine`, so a `statusLine` pointing at it keeps working. `~/.claudelinerc.toml` is still read when `~/.ailinerc.toml` does not exist. Plain `apt-get upgrade` holds the transitional `claudeline` package back because it needs a new package; run `apt upgrade` or `apt install ailine` instead.
