Restore load_skill + surface skill catalog in system prompt

Main's load_skill tool was deleted during the SDK migration along
with the prompt-mutation pattern it relied on. Re-add the capability
without the mutation: load_skill(skills=[...]) now returns the skill
markdown bodies as a tool result, so the content lands in conversation
history as in-context reference rather than as patched-in system
prompt content. Same source of truth (load_skills + skill files),
same validation (validate_requested_skills) as create_agent.

Tool result format is plain markdown (## Skill: <name> headers joined
with ---), not the <specialized_knowledge> XML wrapping used at
agent-build time. The XML framing was deliberately reserved for
prompt-level privileged context; tool-loaded skills are honestly
labelled as just-fetched reference material.

Close the discovery loop by surfacing the full skill catalog in the
system prompt. Without it the model could only guess skill names —
discovering them via validation errors on misses. Now every agent
sees a categorised <available_skills> block right after the
<specialized_knowledge> block with a short hint pointing at
create_agent / load_skill.

Skills module: factored _iter_user_skill_files() so get_all_skill_names
(set, for validation) and get_available_skills (dict by category,
for the prompt) share one source of truth on what counts as
user-selectable. Internal categories (scan_modes, coordination) stay
excluded from both.
