feat: Add SKIP_AGENT_DEPLOY env var for CI image loading

Added SKIP_AGENT_DEPLOY environment variable to deploy.sh to allow skipping agent deployment. This enables the GitHub Actions workflow to:

1. Run deploy.sh with SKIP_AGENT_DEPLOY=true to deploy infrastructure only
2. Load the image into minikube's cache (avoiding registry networking issues)
3. Deploy the agent separately after image is loaded

This approach:
- Avoids the 120s timeout waiting for pods that can't pull images
- Keeps deploy.sh unchanged for local development
- Provides clean separation between infrastructure and agent deployment in CI
