chore(skills): move red-team skills (godmode, obliteratus) to optional-skills — Anthropic classifier (#43221)
* chore(skills): remove red-team skills (godmode, obliteratus) from bundled catalog

Anthropic's output classifier on claude-fable-5 (and likely other Claude
models served through it) intermittently returns empty content for sessions
whose system prompt advertises these skills. The bundled skills-catalog block
is injected into every session's system prompt, so the descriptions

  - red-teaming/godmode      'Jailbreak LLMs: Parseltongue, GODMODE, ULTRAPLINIAN'
  - mlops/inference/obliteratus 'OBLITERATUS: abliterate LLM refusals (diff-in-means)'

trip the classifier on EVERY session regardless of which skill is actually
loaded, killing unrelated legitimate work (PR review, codebase audits, etc.).

Measured impact (controlled, interleaved A/B, claude-fable-5 via OpenRouter,
prompts differing only by the ~204 chars of these catalog lines, N=20 each):
  catalog lines present -> 19/20 (95%) blocked
  catalog lines absent  -> 5/20  (25%) blocked

Removing them ~quartered the block rate. Rewording the descriptions was not
enough; the skills must leave the bundled catalog.

- Delete skills/red-teaming/godmode and skills/mlops/inference/obliteratus
- Drop their generated doc pages + catalog/sidebar entries (EN + zh-Hans)
- Drop the godmode hand-written-page exception in generate-skill-docs.py

* chore(skills): relocate godmode + obliteratus to optional-skills

Rather than deleting outright, move both into optional-skills/ so they remain
installable via `hermes skills install` while leaving the always-injected
bundled catalog (which is what tripped Anthropic's classifier).

- optional-skills/security/godmode  (was skills/red-teaming/godmode)
- optional-skills/mlops/obliteratus  (was skills/mlops/inference/obliteratus)
- regenerate optional-skills catalog + sidebar entries
