Add community guidance and review support for Business Central agents (#137)
* feat(community/agents): add AL agent quality guidance

- add 20 agent knowledge rules with good and bad AL samples
- clarify setup dialog shape, temporary persistence, permissions, profiles, instructions, capability registration, and interface wiring
- add the community-owned AL agents review skill
- make review fixture discovery layer-aware with custom, community, and Microsoft precedence
- document layer-aware evaluation behavior

* fix(community/agents): align setup and permission samples

- mark agent setup pages as non-extensible where required
- narrow the agent profile by hiding an unrelated sales-order field
- define a dedicated read-only permission set for the sales review agent
- assign AL-defined permission sets with system scope and the owning app ID
- clarify the permission scope guidance for default access controls

* Address agent review feedback

# Agent setup tables are keyed by User Security ID
## Description
Each agent instance is a user. Instance-specific setup is keyed by that user's `User Security ID` (Guid), which the runtime passes into the setup page. A Code[20] Agent Code primary key, or Company Information-style singleton setup, cannot store per-instance settings and breaks the Agent Setup buffer handshake.
## Best Practice
Give the setup table a Guid field `User Security ID` as the clustered primary key. Other settings are attributes of that key. When the page opens, `Get` or insert by the Guid the Agent Setup part already holds.
See sample: `agent-setup-table-keyed-by-user-security-id.good.al`.
## Anti Pattern
A setup table keyed by Code, Integer, or with no Guid user key, then mapping one row to every instance. Detection signal: source table of the agent setup page whose primary key is not `User Security ID`.
See sample: `agent-setup-table-keyed-by-user-security-id.bad.al`.
