fix: remove dead USER_MESSAGE_ONLY exit code that caused SessionStart hook errors

The USER_MESSAGE_ONLY (exit code 3) constant was used by the old
user-message-hook.js (removed in the hooks refactor). Claude Code only
recognizes exit codes 0 (success) and 2 (blocking error) — any other
non-zero exit code is treated as a hook failure, causing the
"SessionStart:startup hook error" message on every session start for
users still running v8.x.

This removes the dead constant and improves the exit code documentation
to prevent reintroduction.
