feat(cli): add issue unlink command

Remove stored external issue associations through @sentry/api, reusing
link discovery and URL matching. Preserve standard deletion confirmation,
dry-run previews, and successful no-ops when an association is absent.

+### Unlink an external issue
+
+Remove an association without deleting either issue:
+
+```bash
+sentry issue unlink FRONT-123 https://github.com/example/app/issues/42
+sentry issue unlink FRONT-123 https://github.com/example/app/pull/43 --yes
+sentry issue unlink my-org/FRONT-123 https://example.atlassian.net/browse/APP-42 --yes
+sentry issue unlink FRONT-123 https://linear.app/example/issue/APP-42/fix-error --dry-run
+```
+
+Use `--yes` for non-interactive execution. `--dry-run` shows whether the link
+exists without removing it. If the association is already absent, the command
+succeeds with `changed: false`.
+
+Unlink matches the URL against stored associations and sends Sentry's internal
+link ID to the existing DELETE endpoint. It does not require fetching the ticket
+from the remote tracker, so a deleted remote ticket can still be unlinked.
+For a custom Sentry App, select it with `--app <slug>`; unlink does not require
+the app to expose a link form. Use `--integration <id>` to disambiguate native
+integration links.
+
+#### Unlink permissions
+
+Unlink requires **`event:write` and access to the Sentry project**; `event:admin`
+is also accepted. The organization's “Let Members Delete Events” setting does
+not restrict unlinking on updated Sentry versions.
+
+Granting a token more scopes does not override project-access policy.
