fix(wake): raise default sensitivity to 0.6 and fix inverted Porcupine direction
'hey hor' triggered the wake word: the default sensitivity was 0.5, which
for openWakeWord IS the raw per-frame score threshold — openWakeWord's own
permissive baseline that near-misses clear. Raised the default to 0.6 so
phonetic near-misses fall short while real 'hey hermes' (typically 0.9+)
still fires easily.

Also fixed a real cross-engine inconsistency found while checking: the
sensitivity knob is documented 'higher = stricter' and behaves that way
for openWakeWord (threshold = sensitivity) and sherpa (0.05 + 0.4*s), but
Porcupine's own 'sensitivities' param runs the opposite way (higher = MORE
false alarms, per Picovoice). Turning sensitivity up made Porcupine looser
— backwards. Now inverted (1 - sensitivity) so 'higher = stricter' holds
for every engine.

- tools/wake_word.py: default 0.6; _sensitivity fallback uses _DEFAULTS;
  Porcupine sensitivity inverted with rationale
- hermes_cli/config.py + docs: default + consistent-direction note
- tests: Porcupine inversion, default>=0.6 regression, fallback-to-default
