Subject: [PATCH] fix: move tsx to dependencies and resolve from script dir

tsx is required at runtime by the qmd wrapper script via
`node --import tsx`, but was listed in devDependencies.
Global installs (npm install -g, bun install -g) skip devDependencies,
so tsx was never available after install.

Additionally, Node's ESM resolver walks up from the current working
directory when resolving bare specifiers like `--import tsx`, so even
a separate `npm install -g tsx` doesn't help.

Fix both issues by:
1. Moving tsx from devDependencies to dependencies so it's always
   installed alongside qmd
2. Using an explicit path to tsx's ESM loader in the wrapper script
   instead of a bare specifier, so Node resolves it from qmd's own
   node_modules regardless of CWD

Fixes #182
