agessaman 4d8624494c feat(path): expose {path_distance} in the path command reply prefix
Total path distance was already a solved problem here: the test command
computes it and exposes {path_distance} through the piped-template
engine, with pipe filters and docs. The path command just had no way to
reach it, since reply_prefix went through plain str.format.

Rather than add a second distance implementation, this reuses what
exists. BaseCommand.get_standard_placeholder_fields now returns the
shared placeholder set so subclasses can extend it, the path command
renders reply_prefix through format_piped_template with an added
{path_distance}, and the sum itself uses utils.calculate_distance over
the nodes the path command has already resolved.

Distance covers sender -> each hop -> bot and is deliberately blank when
the chain cannot be measured end to end (unresolved hop, prefix
collision, missing or 0,0 coordinates, unknown sender, no configured
bot position), so a partial sum is never reported as the real distance.

Because the prefix now supports pipe filters, an empty value takes its
label with it: {path_distance|prefix_if_nonempty:📏 }

Supersedes #198, which added a parallel haversine, a show_path_distance
flag, and a distance_traveled key across 10 locales.
