docs: fallback providers + /background command documentation

Browse source 
* docs: comprehensive fallback providers documentation

- New dedicated page: user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md covering
  both primary model fallback and auxiliary task fallback systems
- Updated configuration.md with fallback_model config section
- Updated environment-variables.md noting fallback is config-only
- Fleshed out developer-guide/provider-runtime.md fallback section with
  internal architecture details (trigger points, activation flow, config flow)
- Added cross-reference from provider-routing.md distinguishing OpenRouter
  sub-provider routing from Hermes-level model fallback
- Added new page to sidebar under Integrations

* docs: comprehensive /background command documentation

- Added Background Sessions section to cli.md covering how it works
  (daemon threads, isolated sessions, config inheritance, Rich panel
  output, bell notification, concurrent tasks)
- Added Background Sessions section to messaging/index.md covering
  messaging-specific behavior (async execution, result delivery back
  to same chat, fire-and-forget pattern)
- Documented background_process_notifications config
  (all/result/error/off) in messaging docs and configuration.md
- Added HERMES_BACKGROUND_NOTIFICATIONS env var to reference page
- Fixed inconsistency in slash-commands.md: /background was listed as
  messaging-only but works in both CLI and messaging. Moved it to the
  'both surfaces' note.
- Expanded one-liner table descriptions with detail and cross-references

**Shortcuts:** Append `:nitro` to any model name for throughput sorting (e.g., `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4:nitro`), or `:floor` for price sorting.
## Fallback Model
Configure a backup provider:model that Hermes switches to automatically when your primary model fails (rate limits, server errors, auth failures):
```yaml
fallback_model:
provider: openrouter # required
model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4 # required
# base_url: http://localhost:8000/v1 # optional, for custom endpoints
# api_key_env: MY_CUSTOM_KEY # optional, env var name for custom endpoint API key
```
When activated, the fallback swaps the model and provider mid-session without losing your conversation. It fires **at most once** per session.
Supported providers: `openrouter`, `nous`, `openai-codex`, `anthropic`, `zai`, `kimi-coding`, `minimax`, `minimax-cn`, `custom`.
:::tip
Fallback is configured exclusively through `config.yaml` — there are no environment variables for it. For full details on when it triggers, supported providers, and how it interacts with auxiliary tasks and delegation, see [Fallback Providers](/docs/user-guide/features/fallback-providers).
