wiki: add dev-tools section with tmux, screen, and rsync articles

Add three new articles to 03-opensource/dev-tools/:
- tmux: persistent terminal sessions, background jobs, capture-pane
- screen: lightweight alternative, comparison table
- rsync: flags reference, resumable transfers, SSH usage

Update all indexes (SUMMARY, section index, main index, README).
Article count: 28 → 31. Remove tmux from writing backlog.

# screen — Simple Persistent Terminal Sessions
## Problem
Same problem as tmux: SSH sessions die, jobs get killed, long-running tasks need to survive disconnects. screen is the older, simpler alternative to tmux — universally available and gets the job done with minimal setup.
## Solution
`screen` creates detachable terminal sessions. It's installed by default on many systems, making it useful when tmux isn't available.
### Installation (Fedora)
```bash
sudo dnf install screen
```
### Core Workflow
```bash
# Start a named session
screen -S mysession
# Detach (keeps running)
Ctrl+a, d
# List sessions
screen -list
# Reattach
screen -r mysession
# If session shows as "Attached" (stuck)
screen -d -r mysession
```
### Start a Background Job Directly
```bash
screen -dmS mysession bash -c "long-running-command 2>&1 | tee /root/output.log"
```
- `-d` — start detached
- `-m` — create new session even if already inside screen
- `-S` — name the session
### Capture Current Output Without Attaching
```bash
screen -S mysession -X hardcopy /tmp/screen_output.txt
cat /tmp/screen_output.txt
```
### Send a Command to a Running Session
```bash
screen -S mysession -X stuff "tail -f /root/output.log\n"
```

## screen vs tmux
| Feature | screen | tmux |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Installed by default on most systems | Usually needs installing |
| Split panes | Basic (Ctrl+a, S) | Better (Ctrl+b, ") |
| Scripting | Limited | More capable |
| Config complexity | Simple | More options |
Use screen when it's already there or for quick throwaway sessions. Use tmux for anything more complex. See [tmux](tmux.md).
