fix: remove dead LLM_MODEL env var — add migration to clear stale .env entries (#6543)

The old setup wizard (pre-March 2026) wrote LLM_MODEL to ~/.hermes/.env
across 12 provider flows. Commit 9302690e removed the writes but never
cleaned up existing .env files, leaving a dead variable that:
- Nothing in the codebase reads (zero os.getenv calls)
- The docs incorrectly claimed the gateway still used as fallback
- Caused user confusion when debugging model resolution issues

Changes:
- config.py: Bump _config_version 12 → 13, add migration to clear
  LLM_MODEL and OPENAI_MODEL from .env (both dead since March 2026)
- environment-variables.md: Remove LLM_MODEL row, fix HERMES_MODEL
  description to stop referencing it
- providers.md: Update deprecation notice from 'deprecated' to 'removed'
