fix(setup): alias skills install as rewritten copies, never symlinks

The two back-compat alias dirs — _gstack-command (root router) and
connect-chrome (→ open-gstack-browser) — symlinked the canonical SKILL.md
verbatim, so each alias re-served the canonical frontmatter name:. Claude
Code keys skills on that name and requires global uniqueness: the
connect-chrome duplicate silently shadowed /open-gstack-browser (whichever
readdir returned first won), and the _gstack-command duplicate could drop
the ENTIRE personal-skills set — every /gstack command vanished until the
user hand-deleted the alias dirs, and the next setup re-broke it.

Fix: copy-then-rewrite. A shared _install_alias_skill_md helper reads the
SOURCE SKILL.md and writes a fresh copy with name: rewritten to the alias
dir's own name (_gstack-command / connect-chrome / gstack-connect-chrome).
sed never edits in place: on Unix the old install was a symlink into the
repo, and an in-place rewrite through it would have corrupted the generated
source (eng review E2). bin/gstack-relink gets the same treatment for its
root-alias helper, and its discovery loop now skips symlinked source dirs
so the connect-chrome repo symlink can't re-mint the duplicate.

Tests assert: installed aliases are NOT symlinks, carry their own unique
names, all installed frontmatter names are globally unique, re-runs refresh
cleanly, legacy symlinked aliases are replaced not written through, and the
source files stay byte-intact.
