Rename authoring super-skill al-feature-author -> al-code-author

Naming/framing change only - the authoring counterpart to al-code-review is
now the role-level al-code-author. The Action/Output substance is unchanged:
the decompose -> per-object fan-out -> roll up -> reconcile logic and the
Membership worked example stay exactly as they were and correctly describe the
skill's current mode (greenfield feature authoring).

- git mv al-feature-author.md -> al-code-author.md; id al-code-author,
  title "AL code author", reframed description. Intro now states the role
  (authoring counterpart to al-code-review, produces a whole PR of code) and
  is honest that greenfield feature authoring is its first and currently only
  mode (other modes such as defect-fix-from-bug-report are future extensions).
  inputs [feature-spec], outputs [code-artifact], sub-skills [al-api-page-author,
  al-table-author] and dimension fields all unchanged.
- skills/do.md: one-word consistency tweak in the Composition Relevance example
  (a feature author -> a code author). Behavior-preserving; the findings/Action
  rollup path is byte-identical.
- README.md, agent-consumption.md: author family's top-level skill is now
  al-code-author.

R26 generalization and the al-table-author leaf from #67 are unchanged.
Knowledge article count unchanged at 199.

@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ Skills define how agents consume knowledge. They come in three flavors:
READ and DO are read on demand — typically when the first dispatched action skill runs. They are not prerequisites for invoking Entry. WRITE is only used when scaffolding new content.
- **Action skills** — concrete skills that follow the Action Skill template to do real work (review code, audit telemetry, etc.). Action skills live inside the layers that own them (`/microsoft/skills/`, `/community/skills/`, `/custom/skills/`). An action skill is either a **leaf** that evaluates knowledge files directly, or a **super-skill** that composes other action skills (declared via `sub-skills` in frontmatter). The canonical reference is [`microsoft/skills/review/al-code-review.md`](microsoft/skills/review/al-code-review.md) (super-skill), which composes the AL review leaf skills under [`microsoft/skills/review/`](microsoft/skills/review/) — one per knowledge domain. Most action skills today *review* code and emit a findings-report, but the family also includes an `author` group that *generates* code — applying the same knowledge to scaffold new objects and emitting a `code-artifact` instead of findings. Its object-type leaves are [`al-api-page-author`](microsoft/skills/author/al-api-page-author.md) (generates a Business Central API page from an object spec) and [`al-table-author`](microsoft/skills/author/al-table-author.md) (generates a master table and its setup table). The authoring family's top-level skill is the [`al-feature-author`](microsoft/skills/author/al-feature-author.md) super-skill: it takes a `feature-spec`, decomposes it into per-object specs, composes the object-type author leaves, reconciles the cross-object references, and emits a whole-PR `code-artifact` — the authoring counterpart to how `al-code-review` takes a PR and composes the review leaves.
