marcelsafin 28561e6fc1 fix: reject symlinked skills-directory escape in extension skill scans
_extension_owned_skill_names() and the fast/fallback paths of its
sibling _unregister_extension_skills() called skills_candidate.resolve()
and then checked children relative to that already-resolved candidate.
If the candidate directory itself (e.g. .gemini/skills) was a symlink
pointing outside the project root, both the resolve() call and the
subsequent containment check silently passed through the symlink
instead of rejecting it:

- _extension_owned_skill_names() would falsely attribute ownership to
  a marker-matching SKILL.md living outside the project.
- _unregister_extension_skills()'s fast path (an explicit skills_dir,
  as passed by the toggle-cleanup call site) and its fallback scan
  (used during full extension removal) would both shutil.rmtree() the
  external directory, deleting unrelated content outside the project.

Fix by validating the candidate directory itself with the existing
_validate_safe_shared_directory() shared-infra helper before any probe
or delete: it rejects a symlink at any path component (walking down
from the project root, including the final component) without ever
resolving through it, and is already used elsewhere in the codebase for
the same class of shared-directory containment check. Unsafe
candidates are skipped/refused rather than followed.

Add red-first security regression tests reproducing each of the three
call sites with a `.gemini/skills` symlink pointing at an external
directory containing a marker-matching SKILL.md and an unrelated
precious_file.txt: provenance inference must not attribute the name,
and both the explicit-skills_dir fast path and the None-skills_dir
fallback scan must leave the external directory and file untouched.
Existing valid shared/deduped directory tests (e.g. agy/amp/codex/zed
sharing .agents/skills) continue to pass, confirming legitimate shared
directories still clean up correctly.
