feat: RFC-31 Phase 3 — rewrite CLI var subcommands for composite key model

Migrate CLI var subcommands from ULID ID model to (name, schema) composite key model.

- Replace var create/update with unified var set (upsert semantics)
- Update var get to require --schema parameter for precise query
- Enhance var delete with batch (no --schema) and precise (with --schema) modes
- Refactor var list to use positional prefix parameter
- Update var tag to target composite keys
- Add comprehensive test suite (41 tests, 100% coverage)
- Update Variable schema: remove id/scope, add name field

Fixes #34
