Drew Cain eedafd6db2 feat(cli): add --plain output mode and cli_output_style config default
The four interactive bm tool commands (search-notes, read-note,
build-context, recent-activity) now support three output modes instead of
two:

- JSON  — raw machine-readable output (--json, or automatically when piped).
- Rich  — colored Panel/Table/Tree/Markdown (the default TTY experience).
- Plain — undecorated, greppable text with no ANSI colors, box-drawing, or
          markup (--plain, forced even when piped).

Precedence, highest first: --json > --plain > non-TTY (JSON) > TTY (config
style).  Passing both --json and --plain is a typer error with a non-zero
exit.  Each TTY default is governed by the new BasicMemoryConfig field
cli_output_style ("rich"/"plain", default "rich", env
BASIC_MEMORY_CLI_OUTPUT_STYLE), mirroring the existing CLI-behavior config
conventions; its Field description documents the setting since the repo has
no general CLI-settings reference doc.

Plain renderers deliberately do NOT apply rich.markup.escape — escaping is
only correct on the Rich path and would corrupt literal brackets — so
[draft]/[fact] survive verbatim.  The plain search path keeps the total=0
fallback so the corrected result count matches the Rich path.  String tool
results still route to JSON to preserve ty narrowing.

Module docstring and each command's help text now document the three modes
and the config default.
