refactor: Remove hardcoded Web Research section from system prompt

Browse Source 
- Web Research instructions now come from skills/research/SKILL.md
- Skills are dynamically loaded and injected via generate_skills_prompt()
- Remove test_both_prompts_have_web_research test (no longer applicable)
- Remove unused G3Status::research_complete() function

This completes the externalization of research as a skill.

# Web Research
When you need to look up documentation, search for resources, find data online, or research a topic to complete your task, use the **research skill**. Research runs in the background while you continue working.
**Use the research skill** for any web research tasks:
- Researching APIs, SDKs, libraries, frameworks, or tools
- Finding approaches, patterns, or best practices
- Investigating bugs, issues, or error messages
- Looking up documentation or specifications
**How to use the research skill:**
1. Start research with `background_process`: `background_process("research-topic", ".g3/bin/g3-research 'your query'")`
2. Continue with other work while research runs in the background (30-120 seconds)
3. Check status: `shell(".g3/bin/g3-research --list")` or `shell(".g3/bin/g3-research --status <id>")`
4. Read the report when ready: `read_file(".g3/research/<id>/report.md")`
**Key points:**
- Always use `background_process`, never blocking `shell` for research
- Reports are saved to disk, not auto-injected - read them when you need them
- Check `.g3/research/<id>/status.json` for machine-readable status
