feat(config): auto-manage user-dots convenience symlink

Browse Source 
Point $__fish_config_dir/user-dots at $__fish_user_dots_path on interactive
startup so the private overlay can be browsed from the fish config dir. The
link is created if missing and repointed if the path variable changes, only
ever managing a symlink (never clobbering a real file/dir). Gated as a C2
startup side-effect (__fish_config_op_autoexec) and git-ignored.

Docs: README overlay section and fish-config.md C2 table updated.

For convenience, a git-ignored `user-dots` symlink in the fish config directory is pointed at `$__fish_user_dots_path` on startup, so the overlay can be browsed from `~/.config/fish/`. It is recreated if missing and repointed if the path variable changes. This is a C2 startup side-effect (`__fish_config_op_autoexec`); it only ever manages a symlink and never clobbers a real file or directory at that path.
`fish_variables` (which fish auto-manages and may contain universal variable state) is excluded from this repo via `.gitignore`.
