Mibayy 09d9724a09 feat(gateway): add SimpleX Chat platform plugin
SimpleX Chat (https://simplex.chat) is a private, decentralised messenger
with no persistent user IDs — every contact is identified by an opaque
internal ID generated at connection time. This adds it as a Hermes
gateway platform via the plugin system.

The adapter connects to a local simplex-chat daemon via WebSocket,
listens for inbound messages, and sends replies. Originally proposed in
PR #2558 as a core-modifying integration; reshaped here as a self-
contained plugin under plugins/platforms/simplex/ with no edits to any
core file. Discovery is filesystem-based (scanned by gateway.config),
and the platform identity is resolved on demand via Platform("simplex").

Plugin contract:
- check_requirements() requires SIMPLEX_WS_URL AND the websockets package
- validate_config() / is_connected() accept env or config.yaml input
- _env_enablement() seeds PlatformConfig.extra (ws_url + home_channel)
- _standalone_send() supports out-of-process cron delivery
- interactive_setup() provides a stdin wizard for hermes gateway setup
- register() wires the adapter into the registry with required_env,
  install_hint, cron_deliver_env_var, allowed_users_env, and a
  platform_hint for the LLM.

Lazy dependency: the websockets Python package is imported inside the
functions that need it. The plugin is importable and discoverable even
when websockets is missing — check_requirements() simply returns False
until `pip install websockets` is run. No new pyproject extras are
introduced.

Environment variables:
  SIMPLEX_WS_URL             WebSocket URL of the daemon (required)
  SIMPLEX_ALLOWED_USERS      Comma-separated allowed contact IDs
  SIMPLEX_ALLOW_ALL_USERS    Set true to allow all contacts
  SIMPLEX_HOME_CHANNEL       Default contact for cron delivery
  SIMPLEX_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME  Human label for the home channel

Closes #2557.
