docs: OpenTUI is the default engine on supported hosts; Ink is the fallback

Browse source 
Note in the README CLI section that the terminal UI defaults to the native
OpenTUI engine on Linux/macOS with Bun (provisioned by the installer), and
that the legacy Ink engine remains the automatic fallback (Windows, Termux,
no Bun) and can be selected explicitly with HERMES_TUI_ENGINE=ink. Ink is
not removed — it's the kept fallback.

No in-repo config example documents display.tui_engine (the published config
reference lives on the docs site, not the repo), so there was nothing to
annotate there.

Hermes has two entry points: start the terminal UI with `hermes`, or run the gateway and talk to it from Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, or Email. Once you're in a conversation, many slash commands are shared across both interfaces.
> **TUI engine:** On supported hosts (Linux/macOS with [Bun](https://bun.sh)), the terminal UI defaults to the native **OpenTUI** engine, which the installer provisions for you. The legacy **Ink** engine remains the fallback — it's used automatically on Windows, Termux, or when Bun isn't available, and you can select it explicitly with `HERMES_TUI_ENGINE=ink hermes`. Ink is not going away; it's the kept fallback.
