feat(hooks): add systemPromptAppend to before_agent_start, full tool registry

- before_agent_start handlers can return systemPromptAppend to dynamically
  append text to the system prompt for that turn
- Multiple hooks' systemPromptAppend strings are concatenated
- Multiple hooks' messages are now all injected (not just first)
- Tool registry now contains ALL built-in tools (read, bash, edit, write,
  grep, find, ls) regardless of --tools flag
- --tools only sets initially active tools, hooks can enable any via
  setActiveTools()
- System prompt automatically rebuilds when tools change, updating tool
  descriptions and guidelines
- Add pirate.ts example hook demonstrating systemPromptAppend
- Update hooks.md with systemPromptAppend documentation

* Pirate Hook
*
* Demonstrates using systemPromptAppend in before_agent_start to dynamically
* modify the system prompt based on hook state.
*
* Usage:
* 1. Copy this file to ~/.pi/agent/hooks/ or your project's .pi/hooks/
* 2. Use /pirate to toggle pirate mode
* 3. When enabled, the agent will respond like a pirate

IMPORTANT: You are now in PIRATE MODE. You must:
- Speak like a stereotypical pirate in all responses
- Use phrases like "Arrr!", "Ahoy!", "Shiver me timbers!", "Avast!", "Ye scurvy dog!"
- Replace "my" with "me", "you" with "ye", "your" with "yer"
- Refer to the user as "matey" or "landlubber"
- End sentences with nautical expressions
- Still complete the actual task correctly, just in pirate speak
