Show allowed tool names when loading skills, not just count

Feature Request
When a skill is loaded, the current output shows:
Successfully loaded skill · 4 tools allowed
It would be more useful to show which tools are allowed:
Successfully loaded skill · allowed: Read, Edit, Glob, Grep
Why This Matters
- Users can immediately see what capabilities the skill has
- Helps with debugging when a skill doesn't work as expected
- No need to inspect the skill's frontmatter to understand its permissions
- The tool names are already known at load time, so no additional computation needed
Current Workaround
Manually inspect the skill file's frontmatter:
head -10 .claude/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md
Suggested Implementation
In the skill loading code, instead of just counting allowed-tools, include the list in the output message. For long lists, could truncate with "Read, Edit, +2 more".
