fix(lint): correct four Vale behaviours the skills described wrongly

Browse Source 
Each of these would send a user down a path Vale does not support:

Core options placed under a glob header are not scoped to that glob — Vale
rejects them with E201, so the guidance to nest them produced a config that
will not load. The built-in `Vale` style is compiled in, but Vale still
requires StylesPath to exist on disk before it will run, so the "no StylesPath
needed" shortcut fails. The MDX guidance was inverted: under `[formats]
mdx = md` the mapping is what makes MDX lint at all, and it needs the mdx2vast
prerequisite that was never mentioned. And a spelling rule's `ignore` paths
resolve against StylesPath, not against the rule file's own directory, so the
documented relative paths silently matched nothing.

`mdx` is the case that matters, because Vale 3.15.2 has no built-in MDX support. The mapping above is not cosmetic: it is what lets `.mdx` files lint with nothing else installed. Leave it out and Vale takes the native MDX path, which shells out to an external `mdx2vast` binary — absent from `PATH`, the run dies with `E100 [lintMDX] Runtime error / mdx2vast not found`, exit 2, and every other file in the same invocation goes unlinted too. Install it with `npm install -g mdx2vast` or take the mapping.
The choice also decides the inline-suppression syntax, and it is inverted between the two: mapped to `md`, `.mdx` takes Markdown's `<!-- vale off -->`; native, it takes `{/* vale off */}`. `vale-run`'s `references/troubleshooting.md` carries the verified matrix.
