feat: migrate Codex installer from .codex/prompts to .agents/skills format (#1729)

* feat: migrate Codex installer from .codex/prompts to .agents/skills format

Switch CodexSetup to write BMAD artifacts as Agent Skills (agentskills.io
format) in .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md instead of flat files in
.codex/prompts. Remove global/project location prompt. Add legacy cleanup
of old .codex/prompts directories during install and uninstall.

* ignore .agents for codex

* fix: normalize line endings and use platform-native EOL in SKILL.md output

Normalize all content to LF in transformToSkillFormat, then convert to
os.EOL (CRLF on Windows, LF on Linux/macOS) before writing SKILL.md
files in both writeSkillArtifacts and installCustomAgentLauncher.

* ignore .agents directory

* use description from metadata in custom agent launcher
