feat(mcp): org-number-first onboarding: gnubok_lookup_company prefills the company from the registry (#1940)

The onboarding flow now mirrors the web wizard: ask for the
organisationsnummer first, look the company up in the public registry (one
TIC Lens call through the extracted extensions/general/tic/lib/lookup.ts,
shared with the /lookup HTTP route), and present the facts for confirmation
instead of interrogating the user.

The new gnubok_lookup_company tool (companies:read, company-independent,
default catalog) returns the registry facts, a prefilled
suggested_create_company_input, and a still_to_ask list that encodes the
same fact-vs-question rules as lib/onboarding-journey/reducer.ts: F-skatt
is a fact both ways, VAT is a fact only when positively registered (ML 17
kap 24 paragraf), moms period and accounting method are always asked, an
enskild firma's verksamhetsnamn is the user's choice, and a known fiscal
year becomes a confirm question. Registry outages degrade to the full
question list instead of failing onboarding.

The onboarding skill and the plugin's /accounted:setup command are updated
to the orgnr-first flow (plugin 1.2.0). tools/list ceiling bumped 61.2K to
61.5K with the reason documented in the bench.

-Call `accounted_load_skill("onboarding")` and follow it. In short: ask for the facts (company form, organisationsnummer, F-skatt, fiscal year, VAT registration and moms period, accounting method), then call `accounted_create_company` **without** `confirm` to get a preview, read the preview back in plain Swedish, and only after an explicit "ja" call it again with `confirm: true`.
+Call `accounted_load_skill("onboarding")` and follow it. In short: ask for the **organisationsnummer** first and call `accounted_lookup_company`; the public registry answers most of the form (name, address, F-skatt, VAT status, legal form, fiscal year), so present those as facts to confirm and ask only what `still_to_ask` lists (typically the moms period and the accounting method). Then call `accounted_create_company` **without** `confirm` to get a preview, read the preview back in plain Swedish, and only after an explicit "ja" call it again with `confirm: true`.
 
 Rules the tool enforces, so do not argue with them: a VAT-registered company needs both an organisationsnummer and a moms period; F-skatt must be stated, never assumed; an enskild firma always runs on the calendar year.
