Refactor worker commands from npm scripts to claude-mem CLI

- Updated all instances of `npm run worker:restart` to `claude-mem restart` in documentation and code comments for consistency.
- Modified error messages and logging to reflect the new command structure.
- Adjusted worker management commands in various troubleshooting documents.
- Changed the worker status check message to guide users towards the new command.
