fix(wake): reject ambient-speech false triggers with consecutive-frame confirmation
openWakeWord scores one ~80ms frame at a time and the detector fired the
instant a SINGLE frame crossed threshold — so a stray phoneme in background
conversation could trigger the wake word unintentionally (reported in
testing). A real utterance of the phrase holds a high score across several
consecutive frames; an ambient blip spikes just one.

_OpenWakeWordEngine now requires N consecutive over-threshold frames
(wake_word.confirmation_frames, default 3) before firing. The streak resets
on any sub-threshold frame and on engine reset() (pause/resume), so a
pre-pause frame can't count toward a post-resume fire. confirmation_frames=1
restores the old single-frame behavior; clamped 1..10.

Only openWakeWord is affected — sherpa (streaming transducer) and porcupine
decode the whole phrase internally and already reject single-frame spikes.

- tools/wake_word.py: _confirmation_frames() accessor, streak logic in
  process()/reset(), config default
- hermes_cli/config.py: wake_word.confirmation_frames documented default
- tests: 5 new (spike rejected, sustained fires once, =1 legacy behavior,
  reset clears streak, config clamp) — 58 wake tests green
