feat(session): reset running session start time to now from list

Adds a confirm-gated button on running sessions in the session list that
sets timestamp_start to now (issue #33). The htmx path returns HX-Refresh;
ButtonGroup gains optional hx_confirm/hx_swap keys.

+## Rationale: htmx confirm
 
-The reset button is htmx-driven (`hx-get` + `hx-target` + `hx-swap` +
-`hx-confirm`) so the confirm dialog and in-place row update come from htmx with
-no inline JS — consistent with the project's "no inline JS" convention. The
-existing Finish button uses a plain `href` (full-page navigation). This minor
-inconsistency is left as-is to keep the change focused; the reset view still
-returns a redirect for the non-htmx path, so it degrades gracefully.
+The confirm dialog comes from htmx's built-in `hx-confirm`, which only fires on
+htmx-driven requests — so the button must use `hx-get` (not just `href`). No
+inline JS is needed, consistent with the project's conventions.
