fix(install): refuse --path only for tools that would overwrite each other; re-land installer test suite (#772)

Re-lands the install.sh regression suite from #772 (reverted in #827) together
with the guard change that makes it pass, so CI goes green in one step.

Background. #825 made --path refuse more than one --tool, on #819's report that
several tools sharing one destination clobber each other. That was right in
spirit and over-broad in practice, and it was implemented without verifying
the premise. Measured by installing one agent with every tool into a sandbox
and comparing what landed:

  <division>-<slug>.md  (raw copy)   claude-code, copilot
  <slug>.md             (converted)  gemini-cli, opencode, qwen, zcode
  agency-<slug>/SKILL.md             antigravity, osaurus

Tools in the same group write identical filenames and silently overwrite each
other (qwen + gemini-cli lose a file while both print [OK]). Tools in different
groups coexist (claude-code + codex, claude-code + qwen). Every other tool's
output is distinct.

The guard now refuses --path only for a colliding pair, naming both tools and
the reason, and allows the rest. path_collision_group() holds the measured
table; re-measure if a converter's naming changes.

The suite's two-tool --path cases used claude-code + copilot, which collide:
the "installs exactly one agent" count of 1 was passing because copilot had
overwritten claude-code's identical file. They now use claude-code + codex and
assert that BOTH outputs survive, which a single count cannot show; a new case
asserts the colliding pair is refused. codex has no committed output, so those
cases convert (only the two raw-copiers work under --no-convert in a fresh
checkout).

Verified under bash 3.2 (the macOS CI leg): 29 passed, 0 failed, 1 xfail.
Guard spot-checked against all three measured groups plus a cross-group pair.
