feat(engines): add qwen (Qwen Code) and deepseek (DeepSeek Code) (#287)

`/install qwen` and `/install deepseek` now resolve, alongside the kimi
entry added in #286.

qwen is a Gemini CLI fork, so it reuses gemini's `--approval-mode=yolo`
for agent mode — `--yolo`/`-y` names the same mode, and passing both is a
hard error, so only one form is wired.

deepseek has no first-party CLI; `@serjm/deepseek-code` is the live
community one. The two names that get suggested alongside it are dead
ends: `deepseek-tui` is now a stub whose own description says it was
renamed to `codewhale`, and `deepseek-cli` has not shipped since January
2025. Its package installs `dsc` and `deepseek-code`; we launch the long
name, because `dsc` collides with Microsoft's Desired State
Configuration binary and the short name would silently start the wrong
program on a machine that has both.

The agents/start test loop now writes its stub under the engine's *bin*
rather than its key. Those were the same string for every engine until
now; deepseek is the first where they differ, and a stub named after the
key would leave nothing on PATH to find.

MCP and skills fan-out stay opt-in per engine, so both new engines report
"no support" there until their native `mcp add` surfaces are wired.
