scripts: stop creating the /usr/local/bin/claude symlink

The symlink existed because the Claude sidecar hardcoded that path, and that
hardcoding came from the bwrap-sandboxed architecture: the jail ro-bound /usr
and could not see the installer's real target in ~/.local/bin. The sandbox is
gone, and claude-manager.ts now resolves the CLI itself — $CLAUDE_BIN, then
PATH, then ~/.local/bin/claude, /usr/local/bin/claude, /opt/homebrew/bin/claude.

Verified before removing rather than assumed:

- the only references left in the tree are the resolver's own fallback list and
  this step; nothing in capabilities, no systemd unit, no crontab, no ecosystem
  file and no shell rc mentions the path
- the agent sidecar's PATH under pm2 contains ~/.local/bin ahead of
  /usr/local/bin, so Bun.which resolves to the installer's target and the
  symlink is never consulted
- replaying the resolver in that exact environment with the symlink treated as
  absent returns the same path, so it is not load-bearing
- resolveClaudeBin runs at claude-manager module scope, which ES import ordering
  puts before user-instance.ts reassigns process.env.HOME — so the homedir()
  candidate is evaluated against the real home, not the managed one

The install-and-verify step above is untouched, so a failed claude-code install
is still reported. Only the sudo-owned link into /usr/local/bin goes, a
directory macOS does not ship at all.
