PR #96 fixed the user-skill loader to use yaml.safe_load instead of
naive line-by-line splitting, so YAML block scalars (`>`, `|`),
quoted values, and other standard constructs parse correctly. The
bundled skill loader still used the old parser, so a bundled skill
with a folded description like
---
name: my-skill
description: >
A long folded description
that spans multiple lines.
---
would emit `description='>'` (just the marker character) instead of
the expanded text.
Extract the YAML-aware parser into `openharness.skills._frontmatter`
and have both `skills/loader.py::_parse_skill_markdown` and
`skills/bundled/__init__.py::_parse_frontmatter` delegate to it. The
bundled loader keeps its `Bundled skill: <name>` fallback prefix via
the `fallback_template` argument.
Add five regression tests in `tests/test_skills/test_loader.py`
covering folded scalars, literal scalars, inline descriptions, the
"Bundled skill:" fallback, and the heading-plus-paragraph fallback
on the bundled side.
Replace naive line-by-line frontmatter parsing with yaml.safe_load to
correctly handle YAML block scalars (folded `>`, literal `|`), quoted
values, and other standard YAML constructs. Add comprehensive unit tests
for inline, folded, literal, quoted, fallback, and malformed frontmatter.
