feat: add close_on_exit terminal configuration option
Add configurable close_on_exit option to terminal settings that controls
whether the terminal window closes automatically when the Claude process exits.

This allows users to see Claude's spend metrics and final output that are
displayed on process exit, which would otherwise be lost when the terminal
window closes immediately.

- Add close_on_exit property to terminal configuration (default: true)
- Implement early return logic in both snacks and native terminal providers
- Update README documentation with new configuration option
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing behavior
