Add support for contributing Agentic Workflows — AI-powered repository
automations that run coding agents in GitHub Actions, defined in markdown
with natural language instructions (https://github.github.com/gh-aw).

Changes:
- Create workflows/ directory for community-contributed workflows
- Add workflow metadata parsing (yaml-parser.mjs)
- Add workflow README generation (update-readme.mjs, constants.mjs)
- Add workflow data to website generation (generate-website-data.mjs)
- Update README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and AGENTS.md with workflow docs,
  contributing guidelines, and code review checklists

Adds validate-agentic-workflows.yml that runs on PRs touching workflows/.
Uses gh-aw CLI setup action to install the compiler, then runs
'gh aw compile --validate' on each workflow .md file. Posts a sticky
PR comment with fix instructions on failure.

Also adds workflows/** to validate-readme.yml path triggers so README
tables are regenerated when workflows change.

Prevents contributors from pushing compiled YAML (.yml, .yaml, .lock.yml)
or .github/ directories into the workflows/ directory. Only .md markdown
source files are accepted — compilation happens downstream via gh aw compile.

This is a security measure to prevent malicious GitHub Actions code
from being introduced through contributed agentic workflows.

Workflows are now standalone .md files in workflows/ — no subfolders
or README.md needed. Each file contains both the metadata frontmatter
(name, description, triggers, tags) and the agentic workflow definition
(on, permissions, safe-outputs) in a single file.

Updated all build scripts, CI workflows, docs, and review checklists.

Merges the two separate action workflows (block-workflow-yaml.yml and
validate-agentic-workflows.yml) into a single validate-agentic-workflows-pr.yml
with two jobs: check-forbidden-files runs first, then compile-workflows
runs only if the file check passes.
