feat(coding-agent): add startup.quiet setting to silence startup output (#777)

* feat(coding-agent): add startup.quiet setting to silence startup output

* feat(coding-agent): add startup.quiet setting to silence startup output

Adds a new setting `startup.quiet` that when set to `true` hides:
- Version and keybinding hints header
- Loaded context/skills/templates/extensions discovery info
- Model scope line

Changelog notifications are still shown so users know about updates.

Usage in ~/.pi/agent/settings.json:
{
  "startup": {
    "quiet": true
  }
}

* refactor: flatten startup.quiet to quietStartup on Settings
