docs: add pip install path to installation, quickstart, updating, and CLI reference

Browse source 
Document pip install hermes-agent as a first-class install option.
Clarify that PyPI releases track tagged versions (major/minor),
not every commit on main — git installer is for bleeding-edge.

Pulls the latest `hermes-agent` code and reinstalls dependencies in your venv, then re-runs the post-install hooks (MCP servers, skills sync, completion install). Safe to run on a live install.
**pip installs:** `hermes update` detects pip-based installations automatically — it queries PyPI for the latest release and runs `pip install --upgrade hermes-agent` instead of `git pull`. PyPI releases track tagged versions (major/minor releases), not every commit on `main`. Use `--check` to see if a newer PyPI release is available without installing.
| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `--check` | Print the current commit and the latest `origin/main` commit side by side, and exit 0 if in sync or 1 if behind. Does not pull, install, or restart anything. |
