feat: Add Amazon Q CLI integration to BMAD Method installer

Complete implementation of Epic 1 (Foundation & Core Integration) including:

- Story 1.1: Added Amazon Q CLI option to installer menu
- Story 1.2: Implemented agent configuration generator with proper JSON schema
- Story 1.3: Added multi-location support (user global & project local)
- Story 1.4: Built comprehensive validation system with detailed reporting

Key features:
• Full JSON schema compliance with Amazon Q CLI v1 specification
• Tool mapping to Amazon Q CLI built-ins (fs_read, fs_write, execute_bash, introspect)
• Multi-location installation support (~/.aws/amazonq/cli-agents/ and ./.amazonq/cli-agents/)
• Comprehensive validation with detailed success/failure reporting
• Support for all 10 BMAD agents with proper agent discovery
• Updated documentation to include Amazon Q CLI as supported IDE

Technical implementation:
• Added amazon-q-cli-validator.js with full validation suite
• Updated ide-setup.js with Amazon Q CLI configuration generation
• Modified install.config.yaml with Amazon Q CLI location mappings
• Added glob dependency and fixed all ESLint issues
• Updated README.md to list Amazon Q CLI among supported IDEs
