feat(837): Poka-yoke auto-revert for incomplete skill edits

Implements fail-safe defaults for skill editing (#837):

1. Post-edit validation enhancements:
   - Minimum content length check (>100 chars) for SKILL.md
   - Verify all linked_files referenced in frontmatter exist
   - Revert to backup if validation fails

2. History registry:
   - Save original versions to ~/.hermes/skills/.history/<skill-name>/<timestamp>.md
   - Keep last 3 versions per skill (configurable)
   - Functions: _save_to_history(), _cleanup_history(), _get_history_versions(), _revert_to_history()

3. Integration with existing atomic write pattern:
   - _edit_skill() saves to history before modification
   - _patch_skill() saves to history when patching SKILL.md
   - Transactional write-validate-commit-or-rollback flow

4. Tests:
   - 7 new tests for poka-yoke validation and history registry
   - Test short skill revert, linked files validation, history pruning, revert
