sayan-oai a5af11211a make dollar-mention always clarify item category (skill, app, plugin) (#14147 )

#### What

###### Context + Problem

With the introduction of plugins, we now have one more type of
`$`-mentionable item in the TUI's popup menu on `$`. Apps, skills, and
plugins can all have the same user-facing name, and we attempt to
distinguish with a category tag suffix, like `[App]`. This has a few
problems:

- We decide to show tags by the text that will be inserted into the
conversation, not the actual user-visible text, so two visibly-identical
entries can have no clarifying category tag suffix
- The category tag is a suffix and commonly gets cut off by long
descriptions
- The skill category tag is currently only displayed on repo skills as
`[Repo]`, which is confusing to most users
- The plugin category tag is currently `[<marketplace-name>]`, which is
also confusing to most users

###### Solution
- **Always** show a **prefix** category tag that is `[Skill]`, `[App]`,
or `[Plugin]`. No conditional rendering or copy.

I also feel this clarifies the results at-a-glance while you scroll:
