test: add --no-sdk to copilot-install E2E runners + static guard (#2461) (#2463)

Four execFileSync installer calls in copilot-install.test.cjs deleted
GSD_TEST_MODE but omitted --no-sdk, triggering the fatal installSdkIfNeeded()
path in test.yml CI where npm global bin is not on PATH.

Partial fix in e213ce0 patched three hook-deployment tests but missed
runCopilotInstall, runCopilotUninstall, runClaudeInstall, runClaudeUninstall.

Also adds tests/sdk-no-sdk-guard.test.cjs: a static analysis guard that
scans test files for subprocess installer calls missing --no-sdk, so this
class of regression is caught automatically in future.

Closes #2461

+ * Why: installSdkIfNeeded() is now fatal on failure (#2439). Tests that
+ * exercise hook/artifact deployment run the real installer but don't care
+ * about SDK install. Without --no-sdk they attempt to `npm install && tsc &&
+ * npm install -g .` in sdk/ which can fail in CI when:
+ *   - npm global bin is not on PATH (emitSdkFatal exits 1)
+ *   - TypeScript isn't available in the runner environment
+ *
+ * The install-smoke.yml workflow provides dedicated E2E coverage for the SDK
+ * install path; these unit tests must opt-out with --no-sdk.
