feat(beaver): 完成Task Team功能v1实现，重构后端架构支持统一内核

新增内部Task系统，包括验证、反馈门控机制，实现自动质量验证 (通过率>=0.75)和用户反馈闭环(satisfied/revise/abandon)。实现Agent Team v1协调器，支持sequence/parallel/dag执行策略， sub-agent复用主AgentLoop，每个run使用独立memory snapshot。建立Skill学习pipeline，包含draft/审核/发布/回滚完整生命周期，通过Task验证通过且用户满意才生成学习候选。重构目录结构，移除third_party依赖，建立统一engine内核，所有agent共享运行时基础组件。更新ContextBuilder清理provider消息字段，增强SkillContext版本管理，集成TaskExecutionPlanner和TaskSkillResolver实现技能解析机制。
