[extension] Add Quality Gates (Enforcement Layer) extension to community catalog (#3431)

* Add Quality Gates (Enforcement Layer) extension to community catalog

Add gates extension submitted by @schwichtgit to:
- extensions/catalog.community.json (alphabetical order, between fx-to-dotnet and github-issues)
- docs/community/extensions.md community extensions table

Closes #3414

Assisted-by: GitHub Copilot (model: claude-sonnet-4.6, autonomous)
Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix: revert unrelated catalog reformatting and remove empty changelog field from gates entry

- Restore original ordering/formatting of aide, checkpoint, critique,
  threatmodel entries and inline requires.tools objects that were
  inadvertently reordered in the previous commit
- Remove `"changelog": ""` from the gates entry (empty URL is
  inconsistent with catalog conventions; field should be omitted when
  no changelog URL exists)

Addresses review comments:
- github/spec-kit#3431 (comment) — unrelated reformatting/reordering
- github/spec-kit#3431 (comment) — empty changelog field

* Fix gates entry tool requirements: git required, add node and shellcheck optional

- Mark git as required (per v0.1.0 README: \"jq and git — the hooks and verify.sh require them\" and release notes: \"Requires Spec Kit >=0.12.0, jq, and git\")
- Add node as optional tool (per issue #3414 submission)
- Add shellcheck as optional tool (per issue #3414 submission)
- Update gates entry updated_at and top-level updated_at to 2026-07-13
