rename blob_fetch_stub.go to blob_fetch.go

The file contains production code (hashVerifyReader, FetchAndDecryptBlob), not stubs. The _stub suffix was a misnomer from the original implementation.

-## daemon mode
-
-When `--daemon` is passed to `snapshot create`, vaultik runs as a
-long-running process that continuously monitors configured directories for
-changes and creates backups automatically.
-
-```sh
-vaultik --config /etc/vaultik.yaml snapshot create --daemon
-```
-
-### how it works
-
-1. **Initial backup**: On startup, a full backup of all configured snapshots
-   runs immediately.
-2. **Filesystem watching**: All configured snapshot paths are monitored for
-   file changes using OS-native filesystem notifications (inotify on Linux,
-   FSEvents on macOS, ReadDirectoryChangesW on Windows) via the
-   [fsnotify](https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify) library.
-3. **Periodic backups**: At each `backup_interval` tick, if filesystem
-   changes have been detected and `min_time_between_run` has elapsed since
-   the last backup, a backup runs for only the affected snapshots.
-4. **Full scans**: At each `full_scan_interval` tick, a full backup of all
-   snapshots runs regardless of detected changes. This catches any changes
-   that filesystem notifications may have missed.
-5. **Graceful shutdown**: On SIGTERM or SIGINT, the daemon completes any
-   in-progress backup before exiting.
-
-### configuration
-
-These config fields control daemon behavior:
-
-```yaml
-backup_interval: 1h       # How often to check for changes and run backups
-full_scan_interval: 24h   # How often to do a complete scan of all paths
-min_time_between_run: 15m  # Minimum gap between consecutive backup runs
-```
-
-### notes
-
-* New directories created under watched paths are automatically picked up.
-* The daemon uses the same `CreateSnapshot` logic as one-shot mode — each
-  backup run is a standard incremental snapshot.
-* The `--prune`, `--cron`, and `--skip-errors` flags work in daemon mode
-  and apply to each individual backup run.
