docs(gateway): document typing_status_text on the Google Chat page

Mirrors the Slack docs, per review; notes the marker is a real posted
message (edited in place), unlike Slack's ephemeral status.

@ -189,6 +189,23 @@ Send "hola" in the test DM. The bot posts a "Hermes is thinking…" marker, then
edits that same message in place with the real response — no "message deleted"
tombstones.
### Customizing the working-state marker
The marker text is configurable via `typing_status_text` in
`~/.hermes/config.yaml` — e.g. a kitten assistant named Ada:
```yaml
platforms:
google_chat:
# Custom working-state marker text (default: "Hermes is thinking…").
typing_status_text: "is pouncing… 🐾"
```
Unlike Slack's ephemeral status line, this is a **real posted message** that
gets edited in place with the response — so whatever you set here briefly
appears in the chat as a normal message. Set `typing_indicator: false` to
disable the marker entirely.
