fix(uninstall): remove real-directory skill installs, gated on provenance

On Windows, setup installs skills as REAL directory copies (cp -R via
_link_or_copy). gstack-uninstall's per-skill loop filtered on [ -L ], so
every copy was skipped: --force exited 0 and printed 'gstack uninstalled.'
while leaving ~52 gstack-* directories plus _gstack-command/ behind in
~/.claude/skills. The same filter also missed the standard Unix shape (real
dir + symlinked SKILL.md), which was left as a dangling-symlink husk.

Fix: the loop now handles all three install shapes. Symlink entries keep
the existing readlink check. Real dirs with a SYMLINKED SKILL.md are removed
when the link points into gstack (same semantics as setup's cleanup
helpers). Real dirs with a REAL-FILE SKILL.md — the Windows copy shape — are
removed ONLY when both provenance gates pass (F8): (a) the directory name is
in gstack's skill inventory (source dir names, frontmatter names, gstack-
prefixed variants, and the alias dirs), and (b) the SKILL.md carries the
existing generated banner '<!-- AUTO-GENERATED from' (ENG-OV10: every
pre-v1.67 copy already carries it; a NEW marker would refuse to delete
legitimate old installs, recreating the bug). Anything failing a gate is
listed to stderr and never deleted — a user's own skill that happens to
share a name with a gstack skill survives.

Tests: a fake-tree fixture covers removed/kept/listed for every shape
(including the F8 name-collision row), and a census test asserts every
installable skill's generated SKILL.md carries the banner so the gate can't
strand a bannerless skill. Registered in the Windows-safe curated list —
the copy shape is exactly what windows-latest exercises.

Fixes #2563
