fix(atxp): remove shell sourcing dependency for OpenClaw compatibility

OpenClaw's exec tool in allowlist mode blocks shell builtins like
`source` and command substitution `$()`. The CLI already reads
credentials from ~/.atxp/config directly via getConnection() — this
commit removes the shell-sourcing path entirely:

- Config format changed from `export ATXP_CONNECTION="value"` to plain
  `ATXP_CONNECTION=value` (backward-compatible regex parses both)
- Deleted getShellProfile() and updateShellProfile() — no more shell
  profile modification on login
- Login output now says "npx atxp whoami" instead of "source ~/.atxp/config"
- SKILL.md: removed grep/cut/source patterns, added OpenClaw Integration section
- README.md: replaced source instruction with whoami verification
