Add --skip-update-check flag to wp package list

[Copilot]

The wp package list command checks for updates by making network requests to package repositories, which can fail due to authentication issues with GitHub/Composer or rate limiting, and is slow when only local package information is needed.

Changes

• Added --skip-update-check flag to wp package list command

  • Skips find_latest_package() calls when flag is set
  • Sets update field to "none" and update_version to empty string
  • Maintains backward compatibility (default behavior unchanged)

• Updated command documentation with flag description and usage example

• Added Behat test verifying flag functionality

Usage

# Fast, local-only listing without update checks or auth issues
wp package list --skip-update-check

# Output shows packages with update status as "none"

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Add option to package list to access locally only and not check for updates.</issue_title>
<issue_description>See #59 (comment)

An option to not bother checking for updates to packages would be useful to avoid GITHUB_TOKEN and Composer auth issues like the above and is sometimes all one wants to know and would also be much much faster.

Might also consider combining with or having some local caching of update info.</issue_description>
