tools/skills: create and modify skills behind a grant

skill_create writes a SKILL.md (name, description, body) plus whatever bundled
files the model lists, and skill_edit changes one file of an existing skill
either by literal replacement, by appending, or by rewriting it. Both resolve
every path inside the skill directory first, so a bad argument is answered
before anything is written and before the human is asked anything; a rewritten
SKILL.md is re-parsed so a skill that lost its description (or its frontmatter)
says so instead of failing quietly. The store is reloaded after a write, which
makes a new skill visible to the very next skill_list.

Writing is a host policy, not a directory-access grant: the denylist wins
first, then a session grant, then [skills].allow_write, then the host's confirm
hook — asked once per skill directory, so one answer covers its files. A host
without a hook denies, which keeps the library default safe; the confirm can
also answer 'session' to cover the rest of the chat.
