feat: add "Anthropic — via Claude CLI" as a first-class provider

Replaces the stray useClaudeCli settings checkbox + onboarding question
with a proper provider-card UX. The card lives next to OAuth + API-key
cards in onboarding and settings, with Enable/Disable + Test actions.

Backend:
 - Vendors rchern/pi-claude-cli@0.3.1 as packages/pi-claude-cli
   (MIT, attribution in UPSTREAM.md). Lets us bump peer-dep on
   pi-coding-agent in lockstep with Fusion (upstream pinned ^0.52.0
   vs ours ^0.62.0) and fix bugs without waiting on upstream.
 - Adds @fusion/pi-claude-cli as a workspace dep of @runfusion/fusion
   so users don't have to `npm install -g pi-claude-cli` manually.
 - serve/daemon/dashboard conditionally load the extension via
   discoverAndLoadExtensions() when GlobalSettings.useClaudeCli is on;
   no side-effects on user ~/.fusion/agent/settings.json.
 - New GET /api/providers/claude-cli/status: claude --version probe
   + toggle state + cached extension resolution.
 - New POST /api/auth/claude-cli: flips useClaudeCli, refuses if the
   claude binary is missing, fires the existing skill-backfill hook.
 - /api/auth/status now injects a synthetic {id:"claude-cli", type:"cli"}
   provider entry so onboarding + settings see a consistent list.

Frontend:
 - New ClaudeCliProviderCard component shared between ModelOnboardingModal
   and SettingsModal's Authentication section.
 - New AuthProvider.type = "cli" variant.
 - Removed the old "Route AI calls through the Claude CLI" checkbox from
   Global Models settings and the opt-in step from the onboarding wizard.
 - ProviderIcon gets a composite Anthropic-mark-plus-terminal glyph for
   the claude-cli provider id.

Tests:
 - 8 unit tests for extension resolution (@fusion/pi-claude-cli is
   workspace-linked so these run in-tree).
 - 2 unit tests for the binary probe.
 - Existing /auth/status tests filter out the new synthetic entry so
   they keep asserting structural OAuth/API-key behavior in isolation.
 - The vendored package's own 296 tests still pass unchanged.
