feat(skills)!: promote Skills Repository out of experimental (#6579)

* feat(skills)!: promote Skills Repository out of experimental

The registry-backed Skills Repository (crewai skill create/publish/
install/list, @org/name refs, global cache) is now mainline:

- CLI: `crewai skill ...` is a top-level group; the CREWAI_EXPERIMENTAL
  gate and the now-empty `crewai experimental` group are removed.
- Runtime: registry.py, cache.py, and events.py move from
  crewai.experimental.skills into crewai.skills next to the loader;
  the require_experimental_skills() gate is gone.
  crewai.experimental.skills remains as a deprecated re-export shim.
- Docs: concepts/skills now leads with the CLI workflow and documents
  the create -> publish -> install lifecycle.

Linear: n/a (requested promotion)

* feat(skills): org-scoped publish only + docs in all languages

Skills are always scoped to the publishing organization, like tools:
drop the --public/--private flags from `crewai skill publish` and
always send is_public=False to the registry. CLI tests assert the flag
is rejected and the API never receives a public publish.

Translate the new CLI-first Quick Start and the create -> publish ->
install lifecycle section into ar, pt-BR, and ko concepts/skills docs.

* fix(skills): address review comments on the promotion PR

- Back-compat shim now aliases the old submodules in sys.modules so
  `crewai.experimental.skills.registry/cache/events` imports (and patch
  targets) resolve to the real crewai.skills modules, not just the
  package-root re-exports.
- `crewai skill publish` actually enforces the git-state check that
  --force claims to skip: unsynced repos block publishing (mirroring
  tool publish); standalone skill dirs outside any git repo publish
  without a check.
- Explicit UTF-8 encoding on SKILL.md and cache-metadata reads/writes.

* fix(skills): fail closed when git state cannot be validated on publish

Follow deploy's pattern: construct git.Repository(fetch=False) and only
treat "not a Git repository" as skippable — any other git error
(fetch/auth/misconfiguration) now blocks publish with a --force escape
hatch instead of silently bypassing the sync check.

Also single-style imports in the shim test (CodeQL) with the dotted
shim import covered via importlib.

* fix(skills): fetch before sync check on publish; bump mcp past advisories

Publish now refreshes remote-tracking refs (repository.fetch()) before
is_synced(), so ahead/behind is judged against the actual remote rather
than stale local refs; a failing fetch blocks publish with the --force
escape hatch. Adds a fail-closed test for fetch errors.

Raise mcp to >=1.28.1,<2 (locks 1.28.1): the ~=1.26.0 pin blocked
GHSA-hvrp-rf83-w775 / GHSA-jpw9-pfvf-9f58 (fixed 1.27.2) and
GHSA-vj7q-gjh5-988w (fixed 1.28.1), which were failing pip-audit on
this PR.
