feat: Complete Issue #51 - Add outline mode to schema generation

Implement comprehensive outline mode functionality for schema generation with:

• New CLI options: --mode outline, --depth parameter, --outfile alias
• Schema title format: "Schema from file.md" instead of "Schema for file.md"
• Metaschema extensions: x-markitect-outline-mode, x-markitect-outline-depth
• Depth control with validation (--depth must be >= 1)
• Parameter conflict detection and error handling
• Full backward compatibility with existing --max-depth option
• Comprehensive test coverage (10 new tests, all passing)
• Enhanced CLI help documentation with examples

Technical implementation:
- Extended SchemaGenerator.generate_schema_from_file() with mode/outline_depth parameters
- Updated CLI command with new options and parameter validation
- Maintained 100% compatibility with existing 493 tests
- Integrated with Issue #50 metaschema validation

Usage examples:
  markitect schema-generate --mode outline document.md
  markitect schema-generate --mode outline --depth 3 --outfile schema.json document.md
