Demo mode spawns a socktop_agent child process, but the agent is a separate
crate that `cargo install socktop` does not pull in. When it was missing, the
raw spawn error propagated to main and printed as
`Error: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }`,
which gives the user nothing to act on.
Introduce DemoAgentError so a NotFound spawn failure is distinguishable from
other io errors, and print the path we looked for plus the `cargo install
socktop_agent` fix. Other spawn errors still propagate as before.

socktop (client)
Minimal TUI client for the socktop remote monitoring agent.
Features:
- Connects to a socktop_agent over WebSocket / secure WebSocket
- Displays CPU, memory, swap, disks, network, processes, (optional) GPU metrics
- Self‑signed TLS cert pinning via --tls-ca
- Profile management with saved intervals
- Low CPU usage (request-driven updates)
Quick start:
cargo install socktop
socktop ws://HOST:3000/ws
With TLS (copy agent cert first):
socktop --tls-ca cert.pem wss://HOST:8443/ws
Demo mode (spawns a local agent automatically on first run prompt):
socktop --demo
