Classify contextual fragments with content kinds (#40180)

## What changed

- Require each `ContextualUserFragment` to provide a stable `<feature>.<name>`
  `ContentItemKind`.
- Add `AnnotatedContent` and `RenderedFragment` so rendered text, its role, and
  its classification can travel together to API boundaries.
- Derive extension-owned world-state classifications from the extension ID and
  keep the skills catalog classification with its fragment implementation.

## Testing

- Verify that an extension-owned world-state section renders with an
  `<extension-id>.instructions` content kind.
