Description

Add an "ASCII-Friendly Prompt" option as the first step of the tide configure wizard. When selected, it replaces all Nerd Font glyphs and powerline characters with plain ASCII equivalents throughout the configuration flow, and skips glyph-dependent steps (icons, prompt separators, heads, tails).

Motivation and Context

Tide's default configuration assumes Nerd Fonts are installed and the terminal supports powerline glyphs. Users on minimal setups - SSH sessions, TTYs, CI environments, or terminals without patched fonts - would previously get a prompt full of broken/missing characters with no easy way to configure around it.

Closes #648
