Amp agents can now spawn other agents and exchange files across machines

Amp now lets agents spawn other agents across orbs, local machines, or any other machine, and the agents can exchange messages and files.
The post frames this as a coordination primitive for real workflows:
- spin up a side-thread to fix an unrelated bug while you keep working;
- fan out four parallel threads to test the same flow at different screen sizes and compare screenshots;
- pull files from an abandoned prototype thread into the current workspace;
- offload documentation work to a separate project;
- have multiple agents collaborate by sending artifacts back and forth.
