fix(cli): make incident list --channel match sibling list verbs

incident list was the only list verb that filtered by channel via
--channel-id (a single int64), while alert list, alert-event list, and
change list all use --channel (a comma-separated string parsed into
multiple channel IDs). The underlying API (ListIncidentsRequest.ChannelIDs
[]int64) already supports multiple channel IDs, so incident list's flag
was an unnecessary outlier rather than a capability gap.

Add --channel string to incident list, parsed with the same
parseIntSlice helper alert list and change list already use, and forward
it as ChannelIDs. Keep --channel-id working as a deprecated, hidden
single-ID alias via cobra's MarkDeprecated so existing scripts do not
break; --channel wins when both are set.

internal/skilldoc/build.go's command() walked every flag via
Flags().VisitAll without skipping hidden ones, so the generated skill
card for incident list would have kept showing the now-hidden
--channel-id. Filter out hidden flags there, matching the existing
hidden/deprecated skip one level up for commands themselves, then
regenerate skills/flashduty/reference/incident.md via 'make gen-cards'.

Verified:
- go build ./... and go test ./... pass
- 'incident list --help' shows --channel and no longer shows --channel-id
- 'incident list --channel-id 1 --help' still exits 0 and prints pflag's
  deprecation notice on stderr
- 'make check-cards' passes, confirming the skill card and CLI flag set
  are back in lockstep
