fix(installer): address Augment review findings

- Fix plugins[0] fragility: extract highest version across all plugins
  in marketplace.json instead of assuming first entry (ui.js, installer.js,
  manifest.js)
- Fix _readMarketplaceVersion ignoring moduleSourcePath: custom modules
  can now source their own marketplace.json by walking up from source path
- Hard-exclude bmad-os-* utility skills in both surgical and legacy cleanup
  modes, preventing accidental deletion if tracked in manifests
- Distinguish missing file vs parse error in skill-manifest.csv reading:
  warn on corrupt CSV instead of silently skipping cleanup
