feat: add bot_id input to handle GitHub App authentication errors (#534)

Adds a new optional bot_id input parameter that defaults to the github-actions[bot] ID (41898282). This resolves the "403 Resource not accessible by integration" error that occurs when using GitHub App installation tokens, which cannot access the /user endpoint.

Changes:
- Add bot_id input to action.yml with default value
- Update context parsing to include bot_id from environment
- Modify agent mode to use bot_id when available, avoiding API calls that fail with GitHub App tokens
- Add clear error handling for GitHub App token limitations
- Update documentation in usage.md and faq.md
- Fix test mocks to include bot_id field

This allows users to specify a custom bot user ID or use the default github-actions[bot] ID automatically, preventing 403 errors in automation workflows.
