Add structured error handling with retry logic

- errors.go: retry wrapper for transient errors (ENOENT),
  structured error logging (disk full, permission denied, symlink loops)
- sync.go: continue on individual file errors, log clearly, skip broken
  symlinks instead of failing entire sync
- watcher.go: log all errors with context, handle readlink failures
- Added 11 tests for error handling scenarios
- 50 tests passing
