rename: /delegate → /conclave

Rename the multi-LLM dispatch command to better reflect its purpose:
- /conclave now summons external LLMs for analysis and consensus
- Consensus mode changed from "conclave conclave" to "--all" flag
- Config file renamed to ~/.claude/conclave.yaml
- Update all references in README, plugin.json, DASH.md, perplexity.py
