refactor(forge): remove VCR cassettes, use real API calls with skip for forks

- Remove vcrpy and pytest-recording dependencies
- Remove tests/vcr/ directory and vcr_cassettes submodule
- Remove .gitmodules (only had cassette submodule)
- Simplify CI workflow - no more cassette checkout/push/PAT_REVIEW
- Tests requiring API keys now skip if not set (fork PRs)
- Update CLAUDE.md files to remove cassette references
- Fix broken agbenchmark path in pyproject.toml

Security improvement: removes need for PAT with cross-repo write access.
Fork PRs will have API-dependent tests skipped (GitHub protects secrets).
