feat: add automatic MCP prompt to slash command syncing

Adds optional syncing of MCP prompts to Markdown slash command files
for AI agents that don't yet support MCP prompts (e.g., Cursor IDE).

Features:
- Syncs prompts on create/update/delete operations
- Configurable via TOML config, environment vars, or CLI flags
- Backfill support with --sync-all flag
- Thread-safe atomic file writes
- Non-fatal sync failures (logged but don't break operations)
- Comprehensive test coverage (81.1% total)

Configuration:
- Config: [mcp] slashcommand_sync = true, slashcommand_dir = "~/.cursor/commands"
- Env: HEXAI_MCP_SLASHCOMMAND_SYNC, HEXAI_MCP_SLASHCOMMAND_DIR
- CLI: --slashcommand-sync, --slashcommand-dir, --sync-all

Fixes config merging bug where project config would reset global MCP settings.
