feat: Complete Issue #40 - Associated Files Management with Interactive vs Automation Mode System

This commit implements comprehensive associated files management and introduces
a mode-based architecture that resolves conflicting requirements between
interactive user workflows and automation/testing scenarios.

## Key Features

### Associated Files Management
- Convention-based file pairing (document.md ↔ document.json)
- Automatic path resolution and file discovery
- Complete CLI command suite for managing file pairs
- Performance optimizations with caching

### Interactive vs Automation Mode System
- Automatic mode detection via TTY, CI environment, and pipes
- Environment variable override (MARKITECT_MODE)
- Interactive mode: Uses associated file paths by default
- Automation mode: Optimizes for speed, memory, and stdout output

### Enhanced CLI Commands
- schema-generate: Auto-places output next to source in interactive mode
- generate-stub: Auto-places output next to schema in interactive mode
- validate: Auto-discovers associated schema files
- New associated-files command group with list, info, status, create subcommands

### Bug Fixes
- Fixed isinstance() errors caused by function shadowing built-in types
- Resolved test failures with new mode system integration
- Ensured backward compatibility for all existing functionality

## Technical Implementation
- Added AssociatedFilesManager class with comprehensive file operations
- Implemented mode detection using environment analysis
- Enhanced format_output function with proper type checking
- Added pytest configuration for automation mode during testing
- Complete test coverage for all new functionality

All 448 tests passing. Maintains full backward compatibility while adding
powerful new interactive features for improved developer experience.
