Félix Malfait c2cf3eac50 feat(sdk): confirm authentication method on remote add (#19947)
## Summary

`yarn twenty remote add` only prints `✓ Default remote set to X.` after
authenticating. When using the OAuth path, the browser flow happens
silently — there's no line that says _"you authenticated"_ — so users
(including me this morning while installing a Twenty app) are left
wondering whether auth actually completed and which method was used.

This PR adds explicit confirmation of the auth step:

**New remote via OAuth**
```
✓ Remote "myremote" added (https://app.twenty.com) via OAuth.
✓ Default remote set to "myremote".
```

**New remote via API key**
```
✓ Remote "myremote" added (https://app.twenty.com) via API key.
✓ Default remote set to "myremote".
```

**Re-authenticating an existing remote**
```
✓ Re-authenticated "myremote" via OAuth.
✓ Default remote set to "myremote".
```

## Implementation

- `authenticate()` now returns the method actually used (`'OAuth' | 'API
key'`) instead of `void`. This correctly surfaces OAuth → API-key
fallback: if OAuth fails and the user drops into the API-key prompt, the
success line reflects that.
- New-remote and re-auth paths print distinct messages so the user can
tell which path they took.
- No new API calls — method name comes from which branch of
`authenticate()` succeeded.

## Test plan

- [x] `nx typecheck twenty-sdk` — clean
- [x] `nx lint twenty-sdk` — clean
- [ ] Manual smoke test: `yarn twenty remote add --as test --api-url
...` via OAuth, API key, and re-auth
