feat(profiles): --no-skills flag for empty profile creation (#20986)

Adds `hermes profile create <name> --no-skills` to create a profile with
zero bundled skills. Writes a `.no-bundled-skills` marker file in the
profile root so `hermes update`'s all-profile skill sync loop also skips
the profile — without the marker, every update would re-seed skills and
the user would have to delete them again.

Use case (from @hiut1u): orchestrator profiles and narrow-task profiles
don't need 100+ bundled skills polluting their system prompt.

- create_profile() gains a `no_skills` param, mutually exclusive with
  `--clone` / `--clone-all` (cloning explicitly copies skills).
- seed_profile_skills() no-ops on opted-out profiles and returns
  `{skipped_opt_out: True}` so callers can report cleanly.
- Web API (POST /api/profiles) accepts `no_skills: bool`.
- Delete `.no-bundled-skills` to opt back in — next `hermes update`
  re-seeds normally.

6 new tests in TestNoSkillsOptOut cover marker write, mutual exclusion
with clone, seed_profile_skills opt-out, fresh profile unaffected, and
delete-marker-re-enables-seeding.
