feat(acp): scaffold fusion-plugin-acp-runtime (U1)

New runtime plugin registering runtimeId 'acp', mirroring the
fusion-plugin-droid-runtime shape. Adds @agentclientprotocol/sdk@0.24.0
and an SDK smoke-import test that gates on the load-bearing exports
(ClientSideConnection, ndJsonStream, PROTOCOL_VERSION=1) so a breaking
SDK change surfaces at U1. Runtime adapter is a contract-conforming
skeleton (incl. describeModel); session driving lands in U2/U3.
