install.sh: probe for mempalace wake-up protocol, warn if missing

Browse Source 
The mempalace skill is only useful if an agent loads its wake-up
protocol at session start. Without ~/.config/opencode/instructions/
mempalace.md, the skill is reachable but never auto-runs — agents
forget to search before answering and to write a diary at wind-down.
The failure mode is silent: no error, no warning, just gradual
memory degradation.

install.sh now probes for the file after its regular installation
steps and prints an actionable warning if missing:

  !  Wake-up protocol NOT installed at /path/to/.../mempalace.md
         Without it, the mempalace skill is loadable but never auto-
         runs at session start. Install via the skillset repo:
             git clone .../skillset.git ~/skillset
             cd ~/skillset && ./deploy-skills.sh --bootstrap
         (if skillset is already cloned, just run the --bootstrap step)

If the file is present: prints a matching success line. If the host
doesn't even have ~/.config/opencode/, the check is skipped entirely
(non-opencode machine → no warning to display).

README Prerequisites gains a 4th bullet pointing at skillset's
--bootstrap as the canonical source for the wake-up protocol, so
anyone reading the docs without running install.sh also learns
about the dependency.

The wake-up file is shipped by skillset, not this toolkit. Rationale:
the file bootstraps the 'mempalace' skill (which lives in skillset)
and applies to any harness, not just opencode-plus-toolkit machines.
Cross-referenced via the skillset gitea URL in both the installer
message and the README.

Smoke-tested present + missing scenarios on the reference box —
cleanly detects both, does not hard-fail on missing.
