fix: mem0 API v2 compat, prefetch context fencing, secret redaction (#5423)

Consolidated salvage from PRs #5301 (qaqcvc), #5339 (lance0),
#5058 and #5098 (maymuneth).

Mem0 API v2 compatibility (#5301):
- All reads use filters={user_id: ...} instead of bare user_id= kwarg
- All writes use filters with user_id + agent_id for attribution
- Response unwrapping for v2 dict format {results: [...]}
- Split _read_filters() vs _write_filters() — reads are user-scoped
  only for cross-session recall, writes include agent_id
- Preserved 'hermes-user' default (no breaking change for existing users)
- Omitted run_id scoping from #5301 — cross-session memory is Mem0's
  core value, session-scoping reads would defeat that purpose

Memory prefetch context fencing (#5339):
- Wraps prefetched memory in <memory-context> fenced blocks with system
  note marking content as recalled context, NOT user input
- Sanitizes provider output to strip fence-escape sequences, preventing
  injection where memory content breaks out of the fence
- API-call-time only — never persisted to session history

Secret redaction (#5058, #5098):
- Added prefix patterns for Groq (gsk_), Matrix (syt_), RetainDB
  (retaindb_), Hindsight (hsk-), Mem0 (mem0_), ByteRover (brv_)
