DreamandClaude Opus 4.6 dc90f160df [2.x] feat: Support --autostart=false and --no-server in sbtn client (#8895)
**Problem**
When sbtn (native thin client) can't find a running sbt server, it prompts
to start one. There was no way to opt out of server auto-start from the
client side, which is needed for CI environments and scripting (sbt/sbt#7079).

**Solution**
Reuse the existing sbt.server.autostart system property in NetworkClient
to control whether sbtn should attempt to start a server. When no server is
running and sbt.server.autostart=false, sbtn exits with an error instead
of prompting.

Support setting this property via:
- sbtn --no-server compile (sets sbt.server.autostart=false)
- sbtn --autostart=false compile (new flag following sbt conventions)
- sbtn -Dsbt.server.autostart=false compile (direct system property)
- sbt --autostart=false compile (bash runner and sbtw)

This follows sbt's naming conventions for properties/options: positive
property names with =false opt-out (like --color=false, --supershell=false).

Fixes sbt/sbt#7079
