warn that issue_write body REPLACES content, not appends

The `body` parameter on `issue_write` (method='update') replaces the
entire issue body, matching REST API semantics. However, LLM agents
frequently misinterpret `body` as "add a note about this issue" and
end up silently destroying the original issue description (#2410).

Update the parameter description to make the replace-not-append
semantics explicit and to point users at `add_issue_comment` for the
common "leave a note" use case.

Updates the issue_write toolsnap and README accordingly.

Fixes #2410.
