fix(dev): link-github links plugins from the ledmatrix-plugins monorepo

link-github <name> cloned https://github.com/ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-<name>.git,
and those per-plugin repositories no longer exist: official plugins are
directories in the ledmatrix-plugins monorepo. It now clones (or pulls) the
monorepo once into the dev directory, finds plugins/<name>,
plugins/ledmatrix-<name> or the plugin whose manifest id is <name>, and
links it under its manifest id. With an explicit repo URL it still links a
single-repository plugin as before.

dev_plugins.json: github_user is honoured again (monorepo owner, e.g. a
fork), plus plugins_repo and plugins_branch; github_pattern, which was
documented but never read, is dropped and warned about. Ships
dev_plugins.json.example and git-ignores dev_plugins.json, both of which
the guide promised. Reading JSON falls back to python3 when jq is missing
(get_plugin_id silently returned nothing without jq).

update/status/list find the git checkout above a monorepo plugin
directory (its .git is not in the plugin dir), and update pulls a shared
checkout once. status no longer exits 1 when nothing is broken.

Docs: PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE (quick start, link-github, configuration,
workflow, store integration, hello-world link, submission), and the
nonexistent scripts/git-hooks/pre-push-plugin-version and
scripts/bump_plugin_version.py replaced with the real rule: bump the
manifest version and run update_registry.py. scripts/dev/README.md and
CLAUDE.md updated to match.

### Plugin Development Setup
```bash
# Official plugin: clones ChuckBuilds/ledmatrix-plugins (once) and links
# its plugins/<plugin-name> into plugins/
./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link-github <plugin-name>
# Plugin with its own repository
./scripts/dev/dev_plugin_setup.sh link-github <plugin-name> <repo-url>
```
Set `plugin_system.plugins_directory` to `plugins` so the loader finds the
links. To use a fork or another clone location, copy
`dev_plugins.json.example` to `dev_plugins.json`. Details:
[docs/PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md](../../docs/PLUGIN_DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md).

Create dev_plugins.json in project root to customize:
Copy dev_plugins.json.example to dev_plugins.json (git-ignored) to customize:
- dev_plugins_dir: Where to clone GitHub repos (default: ~/.ledmatrix-dev-plugins)
- plugins: Plugin definitions (optional, for auto-discovery)
- github_user: Owner of the plugin monorepo, e.g. your fork (default: ${DEFAULT_GITHUB_USER})
- plugins_repo: Name of the plugin monorepo (default: ${DEFAULT_PLUGINS_REPO})
- plugins_branch: Branch to clone the monorepo at (default: its default branch)
Symlinks are created in plugins/. Set plugin_system.plugins_directory to
"plugins" in config/config.json so the plugin loader discovers them.
