docs(hindsight): correct recall_types scope — tool path is also narrowed

Browse source 
The original change's description and README claimed the per-call
hindsight_recall tool was unaffected by the new observation-only default.
That is inaccurate: hindsight_recall reads the same self._recall_types
instance attribute as the auto-recall prefetch path, and RECALL_SCHEMA
exposes no per-call types argument, so the model cannot override it.
Narrowing the default narrows BOTH paths.

Corrects the README behavior-change note, the config-table row, and the
get_config_schema description to reflect that recall_types applies to
both auto-recall and the hindsight_recall tool.

> Per [Hindsight's docs](https://hindsight.vectorize.io/developer/observations), observations are the **consolidated** knowledge layer Hindsight builds on top of raw facts: deduplicated beliefs grounded in evidence, refined as new facts arrive, with proof counts and freshness signals. Raw `world` / `experience` facts are the individual supporting evidence that feeds them. For per-turn context injection, observations are denser per token and avoid feeding the model multiple raw facts that one observation already summarizes.

> Restore the broad recall with `"recall_types": "observation,world,experience"` (string or JSON list) in `~/.hermes/hindsight/config.json`. Per-turn `hindsight_recall` tool calls are unaffected — they only filter by `types` when the tool argument is passed explicitly.
> Restore the broad recall with `"recall_types": "observation,world,experience"` (string or JSON list) in `~/.hermes/hindsight/config.json`. This applies to **both** auto-recall and the `hindsight_recall` tool — both read the same `recall_types` setting (the tool schema has no per-call `types` argument), so narrowing the default narrows both paths.
