feat(skills): add install_to_bmad flag and skill: help catalog reference

Add install_to_bmad flag to skill manifests (default true) enabling
skills to opt out of _bmad/ copy while retaining .claude/skills/
installation. Support skill:<canonicalId> references in module-help.csv
workflow-file column. Fix stale quick-dev-new-preview directory
references in agent YAML and help catalog.
