Allow toggling permissions mid-session without restart

Feature Request
Current behavior: To enable --dangerously-skip-permissions (YOLO mode), you must restart Claude Code with the flag. This loses all conversation context.
Requested behavior: Allow enabling/disabling blanket permissions mid-session via a slash command like /dangerously-skip-permissions or /yolo.
Why this matters:
- Restarting loses valuable context built up during a session
- Users may start a session not knowing they'll need YOLO mode
- Breaks workflow to have to restart and re-explain context
- The permission toggle is a user preference, not a security boundary that requires a fresh session
Proposed solution:
Add a slash command that toggles the same behavior as --dangerously-skip-permissions without requiring a restart.
Use case example:
- Start a session normally
- Build up context over 30+ minutes of work
- Realize you need to run many similar commands without approval prompts
- Currently: Must restart and lose all context
- Desired: Run
/yoloand continue with blanket permissions
