fix(workspace): inject plugins_registry into sys.modules before loading adapters (closes #296)

Plugin adapters in molecule-skill-* repos do:
  from plugins_registry.builtins import AgentskillsAdaptor as Adaptor

But _load_module_from_path() used exec_module() with a fresh module
namespace that did NOT have plugins_registry or its submodules in sys.modules,
causing:
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'plugins_registry'

Fix: before exec_module(), import and register plugins_registry + all three
submodules (builtins, protocol, raw_drop) in sys.modules so adapter imports
resolve correctly.  Follows the Option 1 recommendation from issue #296.

Also adds test_resolve_plugin.py verifying the fix for both the
AgentskillsAdaptor import and the full InstallContext/resolve/protocol import.

Closes #296.
