fix: remove unsupported mode: frontmatter from Copilot skills mode (fixes #2799) (#2819)

VS Code Copilot Agent Skills do not support the `mode:` frontmatter field.
The generated SKILL.md files included `mode: speckit.<stem>` injected by
CopilotIntegration.post_process_skill_content(), which had no effect in
VS Code and could cause confusion. Simplify post_process_skill_content to
delegate directly to _CopilotSkillsHelper without injecting mode:.

Update tests to assert mode: is absent from generated skill frontmatter.
