chore: require Python 3.11+ and use stdlib tomllib (#8)

Python 3.9 is past end of life and uv installs interpreters
automatically, so raise the floor to 3.11 and delete the hand-rolled
fallback TOML parser in youtube_publish.py in favor of tomllib, which
also handles subtables, multiline strings, and quoted edge cases the
fallback could not.

 - Discover skills dynamically in the startup header and show analyzed episodes from `dist/analysis/`, so returning users can see what already exists.
 - Remove the unused `[outputs]`, `[transcription]`, and `[video_scan]` sections from `podguy.example.toml`; document which sections are read by code vs. by the agent.
+- Require Python 3.11+ (managed automatically by uv) and parse `podguy.toml` with the standard-library TOML parser.
