fix(tui): accept Alt+G as Ctrl+G fallback in VSCode/Cursor terminals

Browse source 
VSCode and Cursor bind Ctrl+G to "Find Next" at the editor level, so
the keystroke never reaches the embedded terminal — Ctrl+G to open
\$EDITOR was effectively dead inside those IDEs.

Alt+G is unbound in both editors and reaches the TUI cleanly as
`\x1bg` → `key.meta && ch === 'g'` after parse-keypress. Accept it
alongside the existing isAction(key, ch, 'g') check, and document the
fallback in README + the hotkeys panel.

- If you load a queued item into the input and resubmit plain text, that queue item is replaced, removed from the queue preview, and promoted to send next. If the agent is still busy, the edited item is moved to the front of the queue and sent after the current run completes.
- Completion requests are debounced by 60 ms. Input starting with `/` uses `complete.slash`. A trailing token that starts with `./`, `../`, `~/`, `/`, or `@` uses `complete.path`.
- Text pastes are inserted inline directly into the draft. Nothing is newline-flattened.
- `Ctrl+G` writes the current draft, including any multiline buffer, to a temp file, temporarily swaps screen buffers, launches `$EDITOR`, then restores the TUI and submits the saved text if the editor exits cleanly.
- `Ctrl+G` (or `Alt+G` in VSCode/Cursor, which intercept `Ctrl+G` for Find Next) writes the current draft, including any multiline buffer, to a temp file, suspends Ink, launches `$EDITOR`, then restores the TUI and submits the saved text if the editor exits cleanly.
- Input history is stored in `~/.hermes/.hermes_history` or under `HERMES_HOME`.
