fix(cli): simplify self-config tips

[alex-alecu]

Followup to #7603

Why

Kilo can now change most of its own setup when people ask. The tips still pointed people to raw config settings, which made setup feel harder than it is.

What changed

The tips on the home screen now tell people they can ask Kilo to change its own setup. I replaced many file-style setup tips with short examples that sound like normal requests. The examples cover common things people may want, like adding an MCP, making an agent read-only, changing the default model, or turning off sharing. I also added one clear tip that says Kilo can configure itself when asked.

How to test

1. Open Kilo CLI and go to the home screen where tips show up.
2. Restart the CLI or return to the home screen a few times until the setup tips rotate.
3. Check that the setup tips say "Ask Kilo to ..." and that one tip clearly says Kilo can configure itself if asked.
4. Make sure you no longer see raw config tips that tell people to edit settings by hand.

Do we know if these prompts work well if you run this outside of the kilocode repo? Does it have enough knowledge of it's own settings without the codebase?

Tested in cloud repo. Look for Skill "kilo-config" being loaded first
