feat(workflows): expose workflow source directory to steps (#3469)

* feat(workflows): expose workflow source directory to steps (#3467)

Propagate WorkflowDefinition.source_path to steps via
{{ context.workflow_dir }} in template expressions and
SPECKIT_WORKFLOW_DIR env var for shell steps. The original
source directory is persisted in state.json so resume
restores the correct value instead of the run-directory copy path.

Closes #3467

* fix: apply bot review suggestions (#2)

Applied fixes from bot review comments:
- Comment #3563319058: prevent stale SPECKIT_WORKFLOW_DIR leak from parent env
- Comment #3563319094: use cross-platform Python one-liner instead of printenv
- Comment #3563319103: add monkeypatch.delenv for deterministic env var test
- Comment #3563319116: same env leak fix as #3563319058

* fix: use YAML single-quotes and forward-slash paths for Windows CI (#2)

sys.executable on Windows returns backslash paths (D:\a\...) which YAML
double-quoted strings interpret as escape sequences. Switch to
single-quoted YAML strings and normalize paths with replace("\\", "/").

* fix: resolve workflow_dir to absolute path and add installed-by-ID test (#3469)

Applied fixes from bot review comments:
- Comment #3563382853: resolve source_path before taking parent to ensure absolute paths
- Comment #3563382864: add test for installed-by-ID workflow_dir semantics

* docs: document context.workflow_dir and SPECKIT_WORKFLOW_DIR

Add reference documentation for the new workflow_dir runtime value in
both workflows/README.md and docs/reference/workflows.md so workflow
authors can discover the feature and its semantics.

* fix: clarify installed workflow_dir is an absolute path (#3469)

The documentation for context.workflow_dir described the installed-by-ID
case as ".specify/workflows/<id>/" which appears relative, contradicting
the "resolved absolute path" semantics. Clarified that it is the absolute
path to the installation directory.
