feat(providers): enforce request_timeout_seconds on OpenAI-wire primary calls

Live test with timeout_seconds: 0.5 on claude-sonnet-4.6 proved the
initial wiring was insufficient: run_agent.py was overriding the
client-level timeout on every call via hardcoded per-request kwargs.

Root cause: run_agent.py had two sites that pass an explicit timeout=
kwarg into chat.completions.create() — api_kwargs['timeout'] at line
7075 (HERMES_API_TIMEOUT=1800s default) and the streaming path's
_httpx.Timeout(..., read=HERMES_STREAM_READ_TIMEOUT=120s, ...) at line
5760. Both override the per-provider config value the client was
constructed with, so a 0.5s config timeout would silently not enforce.

This commit:
- Adds AIAgent._resolved_api_call_timeout() — config > HERMES_API_TIMEOUT env > 1800s default.
- Uses it for the non-streaming api_kwargs['timeout'] field.
- Uses it for the streaming path's httpx.Timeout(connect, read, write, pool)
  so both connect and read respect the configured value when set.
  Local-provider auto-bump (Ollama/vLLM cold-start) only applies when
  no explicit config value is set.
- New test: test_resolved_api_call_timeout_priority covers all three
  precedence cases (config, env, default).

Live verified: 0.5s config on claude-sonnet-4.6 now triggers
APITimeoutError at ~3s per retry, exhausts 3 retries in ~15s total
(was: 29-47s success with timeout ignored). Positive case (60s config
+ gpt-4o-mini) still succeeds at 1.3s.

### Provider Request Timeouts
You can set `providers.<id>.request_timeout_seconds` for a provider-wide timeout, plus `providers.<id>.models.<model>.timeout_seconds` for a model-specific override. Applies to the primary turn client on every transport (OpenAI-wire, native Anthropic, Anthropic-compatible), the fallback chain, and rebuilds after credential rotation. Leaving these unset keeps SDK defaults (OpenAI ≈ 600s, native Anthropic 900s). See the commented example in [`cli-config.yaml.example`](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/blob/main/cli-config.yaml.example).
