skills: point every test-editing path at tests/STYLE.md

/recipe-upgrade --with-tests, /ci-test-review and /cc-ci-tests-update all author
test changes, and all three had only 'never weaken a test' as guidance. That did
not stop the plausible failure: the fixture INSERTed rows into the app's database,
which was correct for v2 and silently wrong for v3, where a site must belong to a
team. Events were acked 202 and discarded; the recipe sat RED for six weeks.

The rule that would have prevented it — set state up through the app's own
interface, not its database — now lives in tests/STYLE.md in the cc-ci repo, and
each of the three paths is told to read it before editing a test.

version instead of branching, correct the fixture/wait but NEVER the assertion, and diagnose from
the app's own telemetry before concluding a test is stale.
