SHOPIFY CLI FIXES PREVIEW STORE ANALYTICS IDENTITY

Shopify CLI now correctly attributes preview store commands to the actual shop identity instead of a prefixed placeholder, fixing a mismatch between analytics and backend account UUIDs.

Two merged PRs [1] [2] clean up how preview stores report command activity. The root issue: preview store commands were recording analytics with a `preview:` string prefix on the user ID, but the backend was returning either a real placeholder account UUID or the shop ID directly [3]. This mismatch meant analytics data didn't align with actual store identities. The first patch [1] ensures that when you run `shopify store open --store <preview-store>`, the command reads the preview store from the local auth cache and uses that same cached session metadata to set the analytics user ID. The second patch [4] then removes the unnecessary prefix entirely, since preview store scoping is already handled by the session metadata itself (`kind: 'preview'` and the preview payload). Together, these changes mean your preview store workflows now report cleanly to Monorail with identities that match what the backend actually knows about.
