Teknium f503eb6647 feat(memory): add pluggable memory provider interface with profile isolation
Introduces a pluggable MemoryProvider ABC so external memory backends can
integrate with Hermes without modifying core files. Each backend becomes a
plugin implementing a standard interface, orchestrated by MemoryManager.

Key architecture:
- agent/memory_provider.py — ABC with core + optional lifecycle hooks
- agent/memory_manager.py — single integration point in the agent loop
- agent/builtin_memory_provider.py — wraps existing MEMORY.md/USER.md

Profile isolation fixes applied to all 6 shipped plugins:
- Cognitive Memory: use get_hermes_home() instead of raw env var
- Hindsight Memory: check $HERMES_HOME/hindsight/config.json first,
  fall back to legacy ~/.hindsight/ for backward compat
- Hermes Memory Store: replace hardcoded ~/.hermes paths with
  get_hermes_home() for config loading and DB path defaults
- Mem0 Memory: use get_hermes_home() instead of raw env var
- RetainDB Memory: auto-derive profile-scoped project name from
  hermes_home path (hermes-<profile>), explicit env var overrides
- OpenViking Memory: read-only, no local state, isolation via .env

MemoryManager.initialize_all() now injects hermes_home into kwargs so
every provider can resolve profile-scoped storage without importing
get_hermes_home() themselves.

Plugin system: adds register_memory_provider() to PluginContext and
get_plugin_memory_providers() accessor.

Based on PR #3825. 46 tests (37 unit + 5 E2E + 4 plugin registration).

"""Hindsight memory plugin — MemoryProvider interface.
Long-term memory with knowledge graph, entity resolution, and multi-strategy
retrieval. Supports cloud (API key) and local (embedded PostgreSQL) modes.
Original PR #1811 by benfrank241, adapted to MemoryProvider ABC.
Config via environment variables:
HINDSIGHT_API_KEY — API key for Hindsight Cloud
HINDSIGHT_BANK_ID — memory bank identifier (default: hermes)
HINDSIGHT_BUDGET — recall budget: low/mid/high (default: mid)
HINDSIGHT_API_URL — API endpoint
HINDSIGHT_MODE — cloud or local (default: cloud)
Or via $HERMES_HOME/hindsight/config.json (profile-scoped), falling back to
~/.hindsight/config.json (legacy, shared) for backward compatibility.
