🏗️ Consolidate skills into ai-coding-config plugin (#15)

* 🏗️ Consolidate skills into ai-coding-config plugin

Merge standalone skills plugin into core ai-coding-config plugin following
the same pattern as PR #14 for agents.

- Move skills from plugins/skills/skills/ to plugins/core/skills/
- Bump marketplace and core plugin version to 5.0.0
- Update all documentation and symlinks
- Remove plugins/skills/ directory

Previous structure had awkward naming: skills:brainstorming
New access pattern: ai-coding-config:brainstorming

This completes the consolidation work, creating one unified plugin
containing commands, agents, skills, and context.

* 🐛 Fix duplicate detection paths for consolidated plugin structure

Update example paths in ai-coding-config.md to reflect that agents and
skills now live in `ai-coding-config/core/*/` instead of separate plugin
directories.

Cursor Bugbot correctly identified this would cause duplicate detection
to fail for skills since the path pointed to non-existent location.

* 🐛 Add deleted plugin paths to symlink compatibility check

Include deleted skills and agents plugin paths in the list of paths
that should trigger symlink updates. Without this, users with direct
symlinks to old locations won't be offered the fix.
