fix: auto-correct conflicting feature prefixes (#1829)

Treat an explicit feature number as a preference when an existing spec directory already uses that prefix. Advance to the next available spec prefix and warn without fetching or scanning git branches.

Keep Bash, PowerShell, and Python variants aligned. Preserve 64-bit numbering, timestamp mode, dry-run output, matching-file behavior, and exact-directory reuse through the allow-existing option.
