plan 85 phase 3: error-path tests and formatDiagnostics writer refactor

- internal/fix: TestFix_MaxPassesBoundary — verifies the 10-pass
  limit is enforced when content never converges
- internal/lint: TestNewGitignoreMatcher_MalformedGitignore — confirms
  unreadable .gitignore files are silently skipped; TestReadFSFileLimited_Nonexistent
- internal/rules/include: TestCheck_UnreadableFile — OS-level chmod 000
  test for the "cannot read include file" diagnostic path
- cmd/mdsmith: refactor formatDiagnostics to accept io.Writer; add
  format_test.go with write-error, JSON, text, and empty-diag cases
- internal/rules/requiredstructure: unit tests for cueExprForValue
  ([]any, map[string]any, empty string, unsupported type) and
  extractYAML (normal, no trailing newline, unclosed front matter)
