icp cycles buy --json and -q now imply --yes.

A machine-readable run has nobody to ask. Before, --json or -q without --yes printed the quote and prompted on a terminal, and refused to create the order without one (a script that forgot --yes failed; 2>&1 | tee with a terminal on stdin died inside the prompt). Now both behave exactly as --yes --json and --yes -q already did: no quote on stderr, no prompt, no refusal, just the stdout data. A plain human run still prompts, and still refuses off a terminal unless --yes is given.

• consent(args) derives (yes, speak) from the flags; confirm is unchanged.
• --yes help text says it is implied; cli.md regenerated; guide sentence added.
• Unit test a_machine_readable_run_implies_yes parses real flag sets through clap; the integration test cycles_buy_reports_a_refunded_order now runs its --json leg without --yes, off a tty.

This replaces the terminal-detection and shorter-question changes of #824 (not wanted).

Part of restacking #824 into small PRs, one fix each, stacked on main in this order: cycles-buy/01-json-implies-yes → 02-arg-group → 03-gateway → 04-qr-colours → 05-paste-flags → then the wait, its follow-up text and the --json fields. Each PR targets the one below it; after the one below merges, retarget to main.
