#142 Add AL-focused AppSource validation guidance

Six community AppSource knowledge articles with paired good and bad AL samples now cover profile objects, invariant date literals, page extension action placement, UI calls in web-service paths, UsageCategory on searchable entry points, and time-zone offsets. The AppSource review skill routes AL signals to them.
