Add AI tooling config to ignored paths

[alexreiling]

Adds .claude/, CLAUDE.md, and AGENTS.md to the ignore list in read-theme.js.

These are configuration files for AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) that increasingly appear in theme repos. Like .git and .svn, they are tooling artifacts that should not be validated as theme files.

Currently, a symlinked config file in .claude/ triggers a fatal GS030-ASSET-SYM error when scanning a local theme directory, even though these files are never included in theme zip uploads.

Note

Low Risk
Low risk: only expands the theme file ignore list, affecting which paths are skipped/removed during scanning without changing validation logic.

Overview
Theme scanning now skips AI tooling artifacts by adding .claude/, CLAUDE.md, and AGENTS.md to the ignored paths in lib/read-theme.js, preventing these files from being processed (and, when scanning extracted zips in temp dirs, from triggering errors like symlink checks).

Walkthrough

This PR updates lib/read-theme.js to add three entries to the ignore list: .claude, CLAUDE.md, and AGENTS.md. These paths are now excluded from theme directory traversal, preventing them from being processed or deleted during theme extraction operations.
