fix: address multiple bugs and improve reliability

[ncode]

Critical fixes:

• Run elections concurrently in goroutines instead of blocking sequentially
• Inherit parent environment in command execution (os.Environ)
• Clone slices before modification to prevent data corruption

High priority fixes:

• Add empty command check to prevent panic in runCommand
• Filter health checks by service instance ID and ServiceChecks config
• Add graceful shutdown with signal handling (SIGINT/SIGTERM)
• Fix session renewal goroutine leak with cancellable context
• Run first election immediately on startup instead of waiting TTL/2

Medium priority fixes:

• Add Key field validation in constructor
• Replace golang.org/x/exp/slices with stdlib slices package
• Update CLI description and remove unused toggle flag
