feat: allow deploy to run non-interactively

[a-friedman]

Updates the deploy command to fully support non-interactive runs. This will be used in the section library fleet manager deploy command to deploy all section libraries in bulk after a change has been applied and approved.

TEST=auto,manual

Ran unit tests. Ran locally and saw section library revision created without any prompts.

Walkthrough

The deploy command now passes terminal interactivity to configuration resolution and deployment. Non-interactive runs require complete configuration and do not prompt or write .yextrc. Deployment fails without prompting when the Section Library is missing in non-interactive mode. Revision build errors and missing revisions cause command failure. API errors and eligible verbose output redact the configured API key.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in README.md: The deployment instructions now say that noninteractive deployment errors when the Section Library is missing, while terminal input offers to create it. They replace the claim that deployment always creates a missing library after confirmation and displays elapsed build time with a success condition requiring the revision build to succeed. The instructions add built-in-account ID prefixing and document --universe precedence and its incompatibility with YEXT_UNIVERSE.
• observed — Modified behavior in README.md: The documentation now specifies that TTY deployments prompt for missing configuration, offer to use or replace a complete saved configuration, and can save prompted values to .yextrc. Without a TTY, all four values must be valid from the environment, .yextrc, or --universe; the command neither prompts nor writes .yextrc. It also documents the non-TTY requirements for --allow-dirty and --allow-duplicate, while interactive deployments ask for confirmation. Both modes wait for the revision build to succeed or fail.
• observed — Modified behavior in packages/visual-editor/src/cli/commands/deploy.test.ts: Adds test utilities and lifecycle hooks that create and clean up a temporary repository directory, reset environment and mocks, construct API responses, and capture CLI output.
• observed — Modified behavior in packages/visual-editor/src/cli/commands/deploy.test.ts: Adds parameterized tests for environment-variable and .yextrc configuration. Each sets up a Git repository and library manifest, mocks the expected API response sequence, and asserts the CLI result, prompt and fetch counts, secret-output absence, and .yextrc preservation.
