feat(login): add status command (#1087) (#1105)

Implements #1087.

Adds `tea login status [<login name>] [-o <format>]`, which verifies the stored token for one or all configured logins and reports:

- login name/URL and default status
- whether the token is valid (via `GET /api/v1/user`)
- auth method and token expiry
- whether the git credential helper is configured

Machine-readable output is available via the usual `-o` formats with fields `name`, `url`, `user`, `valid`, `auth_method`, `token_expiry`, `helper`, and `default`.
