fix(gateway): Slack approval UX in threads — block-size overflow + typed-prefix instruction text (#43444)

Two fixes for the reported Slack thread approval UX:

1. Slack Block Kit approval/confirm sends silently overflowed the
   3000-char section-block cap (flat 2900-char truncation + header +
   reason), so long execute_code approvals failed with invalid_blocks
   and fell back to the plain-text prompt with no buttons. Budget the
   command preview against the rendered fixed parts so blocks never
   exceed the cap (send_exec_approval + send_slash_confirm).

2. The text fallbacks told users to reply /approve — which Slack blocks
   inside threads and Matrix clients reserve client-side. Add a
   typed_command_prefix capability flag on BasePlatformAdapter
   (default "/"; Slack and Matrix set "!" to match their existing
   bang-prefix rewrite) and use it in the shared fallback prompt
   builders (exec approval, update prompt, destructive slash confirm,
   expensive-model confirm) plus Matrix's reaction-prompt text.
   The slash-confirm text-intercept now also accepts bang-prefixed
   replies (!always, !cancel) since those keywords aren't registered
   commands and the adapters' rewrite doesn't touch them.
