fix(validator): address all review feedback from @mukul975

Required changes:
- Error handling: IOError and UnicodeDecodeError already wrapped in
  try/except from previous commit — still present and correct.
- ALLOWED_SUBDOMAINS: synced with actual repo usage (audited all 754
  skills). identity-access-management (34 skills) added; identity-security
  was the placeholder in its place.

New in this commit:
1. Description minimum: raised from 20 → 50 chars to align with other
   repo tooling as requested.
2. Folded scalar support: parse_frontmatter now handles YAML `>-` and `>`
   folded scalars, preventing incorrect parse of multi-line descriptions.
   Added a comment documenting the one remaining edge case (value-less key
   followed by non-list content — treated as no-value, acceptable for
   well-formed SKILL.md files).
3. Canonical subdomain warnings: alias subdomain values (e.g.
   security-operations vs soc-operations) now print a WARN line pointing
   to the canonical form, but are non-blocking. A _SUBDOMAIN_ALIASES dict
   documents canonical/alias pairs explicitly.
4. Description upper limit: removed hard cap — folded scalars legitimately
   produce long strings in existing skills.
5. PR description: removed false mention of type hints (there are none
   in this file).

Validator now passes 754/754 skills in the repo with 0 errors.

Handles the common SKILL.md patterns:
- key: scalar value
- key: [inline, list]
- key:\n - list\n - items
- key: >- (folded scalar — content on following indented lines)
Edge case note: ``list_values`` is reset to ``[]`` whenever a new key
with a scalar value is encountered, so a list from a prior block cannot
leak into an unrelated key. The only remaining theoretical edge case is
a key with *no* value that is immediately followed by non-list, non-empty
lines that look like scalars — those lines are currently ignored (the key
is treated as having no value). This is acceptable for well-formed SKILL.md
files and matches the behaviour contributors expect.
