Make agents and skills commands usable beyond placeholder parsing

Wire /agents and /skills through the Rust command stack so they can run as direct CLI subcommands, direct slash invocations, and resume-safe slash commands. The handlers now provide structured usage output, skills discovery also covers legacy /commands markdown entries, and the reporting/tests line up more closely with the original TypeScript behavior where feasible.

Constraint: The Rust port does not yet have the original TypeScript TUI menus or plugin/MCP skill registry, so text reports approximate those views
Rejected: Rebuild the original interactive React menus in Rust now | too large for the current CLI parity slice
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep /skills discovery and the Skill tool aligned if command/skill registry parity expands later
Tested: cargo test --workspace
Tested: cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
Tested: cargo run -q -p rusty-claude-cli -- agents --help
Tested: cargo run -q -p rusty-claude-cli -- /agents
Not-tested: Live Anthropic-backed REPL execution of /agents or /skills
