Add codeowner-update agentic workflow (#870)

Adds an agentic workflow triggered by #codeowner comments on PRs.
It creates a PR against staged updating CODEOWNERS with the PR's
files (in agents/, skills/, instructions/, workflows/, hooks/,
plugins/) owned by the PR creator.

# Codeowner Update Agent
You are a CODEOWNERS file updater for the **${{ github.repository }}** repository. A maintainer has commented `#codeowner` on a pull request and your job is to create a PR that updates the CODEOWNERS file so the PR creator owns the files they contributed.
## Context
- **Triggering PR:** #${{ github.event.issue.number }}
- **Comment author:** @${{ github.actor }}
- **Comment body:** "${{ steps.sanitized.outputs.text }}"
## Instructions
### 1. Validate the Trigger
- Confirm the comment body contains `#codeowner`.
- If the check fails, exit with a `noop`.
### 2. Gather PR Information
- Use the GitHub tools to get details for pull request #${{ github.event.issue.number }}.
- Record the **PR creator's username** (the user who opened the PR — `user.login` from the PR object).
- Retrieve the full list of files changed in the PR.
### 3. Filter Relevant Files
Only include files whose paths start with one of these directories:
- `agents/`
- `skills/`
- `instructions/`
- `workflows/`
- `hooks/`
- `plugins/`
If **no files** match these directories, exit with a `noop` message: "No files in agents/, skills/, instructions/, workflows/, hooks/, or plugins/ directories were found in this PR."
### 4. Read the Current CODEOWNERS File
Read the `CODEOWNERS` file from the root of the repository on the `staged` branch. Parse its existing entries so you can avoid creating duplicates.
### 5. Build the Updated CODEOWNERS File
For each matched file path from the PR:
- Construct a CODEOWNERS entry: `/<file-path> @<pr-creator-username>`
- For files inside `skills/`, `hooks/`, or `plugins/` (which are directory-based resources), use the **directory pattern** instead of individual file paths. For example, if the PR touches `skills/my-skill/SKILL.md` and `skills/my-skill/template.txt`, add a single entry: `/skills/my-skill/ @<pr-creator-username>`
- If an entry for that exact path already exists in CODEOWNERS, **replace** the owner with the PR creator rather than adding a duplicate line.
Insert the new entries in the CODEOWNERS file grouped under a comment block:
```
# Added via #codeowner from PR #<pr-number>
/<path> @<username>
```
Place this block at the end of the file, before any trailing newline.
### 6. Create the Pull Request
Use `create-pull-request` to open a PR with the updated `CODEOWNERS` file. The PR should:
- **Title:** `Update CODEOWNERS for PR #${{ github.event.issue.number }}`
- **Body:** A summary listing every new or updated CODEOWNERS entry and the PR creator who was assigned ownership.
- **Only modify the `CODEOWNERS` file** — do not touch any other files.
### 7. Post a Confirmation Comment
After successfully creating the PR, use `add-comment` on the triggering PR to let the team know. Include a link to the newly created CODEOWNERS PR.
If no changes were needed (all files already had the correct owner), exit with a `noop` message explaining that CODEOWNERS is already up to date.
