feat: add SearXNG as a native web search backend

Adds SearXNG (https://docs.searxng.org) as a self-hosted, privacy-first
web search backend alongside Firecrawl, Tavily, Exa, and Parallel.

SearXNG is a meta-search engine that aggregates results from 70+ search
engines. No API key needed -- just set SEARXNG_URL to your instance.

Changes:
- tools/web_tools.py: _get_searxng_url(), _searxng_search(), search
  dispatch, extract falls back to Firecrawl (SearXNG is search-only)
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: SearXNG provider in web tool picker
- hermes_cli/config.py: SEARXNG_URL env var, diagnostics, set command
- tests/tools/test_web_tools_searxng.py: 15 tests
- optional-skills/research/searxng-search/: agent-guided skill
- Docs: configuration.md, environment-variables.md, skills catalogs
