feat(skills): Add contribution guidelines check to beads skills

WSL is no longer used. This removes:
- machines/wixos/ directory and configuration.nix
- nixos-wsl input from flake.nix
- nixosConfigurations.wixos output
- References to wixos in AGENTS.md and .goosehints

Implements bead: nixos-configs-2mk
