fix: show built-in distributions in llama stack list (#4040)

# What does this PR do?
Fixes issue #3922 where `llama stack list` only showed distributions
after they were run. This PR makes the command show all available
distributions immediately on a fresh install.

Closes #3922

## Changes
- **Updated `_get_distribution_dirs()`** to discover both built-in and
built distributions:
- Built-in distributions from `src/llama_stack/distributions/` (e.g.,
starter, nvidia, dell)
  - Built distributions from `~/.llama/distributions`
- **Added a "Source" column** to distinguish between "built-in" and
"built" distributions
- **Built distributions override built-in ones** with the same name
(expected behavior)
- **Updated config file detection logic** to handle both naming
conventions:
  - Built-in: `build.yaml` and `run.yaml`
  - Built: `{name}-build.yaml` and `{name}-run.yaml`

## Test Plan
### Unit Tests
Added comprehensive unit tests in
`tests/unit/distribution/test_stack_list.py`:
```bash
uv run pytest tests/unit/distribution/test_stack_list.py -v
```
**Result**: ✅ All 8 tests pass
- `test_builtin_distros_shown_without_running` - Verifies the core fix
for issue #3922
- `test_builtin_and_built_distros_shown_together` - Ensures both types
are shown
- `test_built_distribution_overrides_builtin` - Tests override behavior
- `test_empty_distributions` - Edge case handling
- `test_config_files_detection_builtin` - Config file detection for
built-in distros
- `test_config_files_detection_built` - Config file detection for built
distros
- `test_llamastack_prefix_stripped` - Name normalization
- `test_hidden_directories_ignored` - Filters hidden directories

### Manual Testing
**Before the fix** (simulated with empty `~/.llama/distributions`):
```bash
$ llama stack list
No stacks found in ~/.llama/distributions
```

**After the fix**:
```bash
$ llama stack list
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ Stack Name        ┃ Source   ┃ Path              ┃ Build Config ┃ Run Config ┃

└───────────────────┴──────────┴───────────────────┴──────────────┴────────────┘
```

**After running a distribution**:
```bash
$ llama stack run starter  # Creates ~/.llama/distributions/starter
$ llama stack list
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ Stack Name        ┃ Source   ┃ Path              ┃ Build Config ┃ Run Config ┃
┡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━┩
│ ...               │ built-in │ ...               │ Yes          │ Yes        │
│ starter           │ built    │ ~/.llama/distri…  │ No           │ No         │
│ ...               │ built-in │ ...               │ Yes          │ Yes        │
└───────────────────┴──────────┴───────────────────┴──────────────┴────────────┘
```
Note how `starter` now shows as "built" and points to
`~/.llama/distributions`, overriding the built-in version.

## Breaking Changes
**No breaking changes** - This is a bug fix that improves user
experience with minimal risk:
- No programmatic parsing of output found in the codebase
- Table format is clearly for human consumption
- The new "Source" column helps users understand where distributions
come from
- The behavior change is exactly what users expect (seeing all available
distributions)
