feat(honcho): async memory integration with prefetch pipeline and recallMode

Adds full Honcho memory integration to Hermes:

- Session manager with async background writes, memory modes (honcho/hybrid/local),
  and dialectic prefetch for first-turn context warming
- Agent integration: prefetch pipeline, tool surface gated by recallMode,
  system prompt context injection, SIGTERM/SIGINT flush handlers
- CLI commands: setup, status, mode, tokens, peer, identity, migrate
- recallMode setting (auto | context | tools) for A/B testing retrieval strategies
- Session strategies: per-session, per-repo (git tree root), per-directory, global
- Polymorphic memoryMode config: string shorthand or per-peer object overrides
- 97 tests covering async writes, client config, session resolution, and memory modes
