14d2ab3262 Standardize file skills terminology on 'directory' (#5205)
Rename authored identifiers, XML docs, log messages, and comments
from 'folder' to 'directory' across the file skills codebase for
consistency with the agentskills.io specification and .NET conventions.

Public API changes (experimental):
- ScriptFolders → ScriptDirectories
- ResourceFolders → ResourceDirectories

.NET BCL API calls (Directory.Exists, Path.GetDirectoryName, etc.)
were already using 'directory' and are unchanged.
