Normalize whitespace in grid get_process_output to save tokens

Browse Source 
Grid snapshots pad every row to the full terminal width and leave the
bottom of the screen blank, so MCP grid reads carried a lot of dead
whitespace. Add normalizeGridText (CRLF/lone-CR to LF, right-trim each
line, collapse blank runs to a single blank, drop leading/trailing
blanks) and apply it to the grid branch of GetProcessOutput only.
Stream output, raw output, and WaitForPattern matching are untouched.

Resolves the terminal-read newline/token-waste TODO item.
