fix(config): migrate all hardcoded paths to getCcsDir() and improve validation

- Replace os.homedir() + '.ccs' with getCcsDir() across 14 instances in 13 files:
  version-command, model-config, openrouter-catalog, config-checks, disk-cache,
  aggregator, auth-middleware, shell-completion, shared-manager, recovery-manager,
  auto-repair, delegation-validator, claude-dir-installer, cliproxy executor
- Add isDirectory() validation for --config-dir argument in ccs.ts
- Make detectCloudSyncPath() case-insensitive for cloud provider matching
- Fix help-command.ts to use dynamic dirDisplay for all path references
- Add 5 new tests: setGlobalConfigDir precedence, relative path resolution,
  reset behavior, getCcsDirSource with --config-dir, case-insensitive detection
- Clean up unused os imports after migration
