feat(flowstudio): align Power Automate skills with MCP server v1.1.6 (#1564)

Foundation skill (flowstudio-power-automate-mcp) rewritten to use the
server's new tool_search and list_skills meta-tools (v1.1.5+) for
discovery instead of cataloging every tool by hand. Cut from 519 to
295 lines. New "Which Skill to Use When" intent-keyed decision tree
points at the four specialized skills.

Build/debug/governance/monitoring updated for use-case framing. Tools
that genuinely cross tiers (e.g. debug skill borrowing
get_store_flow_summary) are correct when the workflow needs them — the
split between skills is by use-case intent, not by tool partition.

Build skill: new Step 3a Resolving Dynamic Connector Values covers
get_live_dynamic_options outer-parameter auto-bridge (v1.1.6+) and the
AadGraph user-picker fallback via shared_office365users.SearchUserV2
(replaces broken builtInOperation:AadGraph.GetUsers).

Debug skill: Outlook user-picker failure note pointing at the fallback.

Monitoring skill description disambiguates from the server's monitor-flow
tool bundle (runtime control of a single flow) — this skill is
tenant-wide health analytics over the cached store.

All 5 skills validate via npm run skill:validate; line endings LF only;
codespell clean; auto-regenerated docs/README.skills.md included.

## Step 3a — Resolving Dynamic Connector Values
When an action input needs a value picked from a connector dropdown (e.g. a
SharePoint list ID, a Dataverse table name, a user's Azure AD UPN), use
`get_live_dynamic_options` to resolve it via MCP rather than hardcoding GUIDs.
```python
# Resolve a SharePoint list by site
opts = mcp("get_live_dynamic_options",
environmentName=ENV,
connectorName="shared_sharepointonline",
operationId="GetTables",
parameters={"dataset": "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/HR"})
# opts["value"] → [{"Name": "<list-guid>", "DisplayName": "Employees"}, ...]
```
> **Outer-parameter auto-bridge** (server v1.1.6+): you can pass arbitrary outer
> parameters directly in `parameters` — the server now synthesizes the
> `parameterReference` mapping that PA's listEnum requires. Before 1.1.6 you had
> to declare `dynamicMetadata.parameters: {paramName: {parameterReference: "name"}}`
> manually or get `IncorrectDynamicInvokeParameter`. This makes it practical to
> invoke arbitrary connector operations through the dynamic-options pipeline
> (e.g. `shared_office365users.SearchUserV2` for AAD user lookup).
### AadGraph user-picker fallback
For Outlook actions like `GetEmailsV3` (parameters `mailboxAddress`, `to`, `cc`,
`from`), PA's listEnum uses `builtInOperation:AadGraph.GetUsers` — which is
broken and returns `DynamicListValuesUndefinedOrInvalid` for every call.
`describe_live_connector` (v1.1.6+) detects these parameters and returns a
structured `fallback` field on each affected parameter pointing at a working
alternative. **Use `shared_office365users.SearchUserV2`** to resolve the same
AAD user shape `{value: [{id, displayName, mail, userPrincipalName, ...}]}`:
```python
# Borrow a shared_office365users connection (any active one will do)
conn = next(c for c in conn_map if "office365users" in c)
users = mcp("get_live_dynamic_options",
environmentName=ENV,
connectorName="shared_office365users",
connectionName=conn_map[conn], # see Step 2a
operationId="SearchUserV2",
parameters={"searchTerm": "john", "top": 10})
# users["value"] → [{"Id": "...", "DisplayName": "John Smith", "Mail": "..."}, ...]
```
Then plug the resolved `Mail` value into the Outlook action's parameter — no
need to call `AadGraph.GetUsers` directly.
