Status line: show token limit reset time or remaining time instead of static duration
Preflight Checklist

Problem Statement
The Claude Code status line currently displays static token usage durations (e.g., "5h", "7h") based on the session model and tier. This doesn't provide users with practical information about when their token limit will reset or how much time they have remaining before the limit resets.
Users need to know either when the token limit will reset (an absolute timestamp), or how much time remains before the reset (a countdown).
Proposed Solution
Add an option to the status line configuration that shows either the absolute timestamp when the token limit resets, or a countdown of hours and minutes remaining until reset, instead of the current static duration display. This should be configurable in settings.json so users can choose which format they prefer.
