* feat(review): add verification-gap reviewer as a third review layer

Add bmad-review-verification-gap, a code-review layer orthogonal to the adversarial bug-hunter and edge-case hunter. It asks whether a regression in the changed behavior would be caught by a test where that behavior is actually exercised — never whether the code is wrong — and reports verification gaps with no severity (the triage step owns that).

Wire it into the review steps of code-review, quick-dev, and dev-auto, and register it in the plugin marketplace. The code-review triage folds its findings into the unified normalization (source vgap); the triage step's per-layer format enumeration is dropped, since the triage agent sees the actual layer outputs and a description of them adds nothing.

Per external review feedback: absence claims are gated on a repo-wide symbol and import-reference search, and the report's evidence field must show the searches run when it claims no test exists.

* docs(review): tighten verification-gap reviewer prompt

* docs(review): apply decisions-log refinements to verification-gap reviewer

Fold two decisions from docs/test-gap-hunter/decisions-log.md and follow-up
review into the reviewer prompt:

- Missing-adoption now qualifies on a supersession signal plus a shared
  observable contract, not the adoption failure alone; missing coverage of the
  non-adoption is the gap itself, not a disqualifier. Step 4 routes it as its
  own outcome so it is not collapsed into the regression-style gaps.
- Findings report what was actually checked ("none of the tests I read cover
  this") and how far, and claim a test exists nowhere only when the
  symbol/import search establishes it. The gap definitions and Consequence stay
  conceptual; the how-far-verified qualification lives in the report fields.
