Implement backend session creation for Matrix rooms

MAJOR ARCHITECTURAL IMPROVEMENT: Matrix sessions now create real backend sessions

Key Changes:
- Added createMappingWithBackendSession() to SessionMappingService
- Matrix rooms now call startAgent API to create actual backend sessions
- Session mappings use real backend session IDs instead of generated ones
- Updated MatrixService.createAISession() to use backend session creation
- Updated MatrixService.ensureSessionMapping() to create backend sessions
- Added fallback to old method if backend session creation fails

Benefits:
- Matrix sessions are now fully compatible with backend APIs
- No more 'Failed to read session: Session not found' errors
- Session token counting works correctly for Matrix sessions
- SSE streams work properly with Matrix sessions
- Full session persistence and reload functionality
- Eliminates the need for frontend-only workarounds

This resolves the fundamental issue where Matrix sessions existed only in the frontend
but had no corresponding backend session data. Now Matrix collaborative sessions
are treated as first-class citizens with proper backend integration.
