feat: implement PermissionInterface trait for tool system refactoring

- Add PermissionInterface trait with async methods for permission handling
- Create ConsolePermissionInterface preserving existing terminal behavior
- Refactor tool_use_execute to use permission interface abstraction
- Separate UI concerns from core permission evaluation logic
- Enable future ACP integration while maintaining backward compatibility
