feat(memory): add migration 073, memoryVec CRUD module, and localDb re-export (plan 21 F2)

- 073_memory_vec.sql: creates memory_vec_meta singleton table (active_dim,
  embedding_signature, last_reset_at, vec_loaded) and adds needs_reindex column
  to memories table with a partial index; idempotent via CREATE IF NOT EXISTS +
  INSERT OR IGNORE + migration runner's duplicate-column-name guard
- src/lib/db/memoryVec.ts: implements 6 CRUD functions per §3.8 contract
  (getMemoryVecMeta, setMemoryVecMeta, markMemoryNeedsReindex,
  markAllMemoriesNeedReindex, getMemoryReindexQueue, countMemoryReindexPending)
- src/lib/localDb.ts: adds re-export block for the 6 functions (Hard Rule #2)
- .env.example: documents 7 new MEMORY_* env vars per §3.9
- tests/unit/memory-vec-meta.test.ts: 7 tests (meta get/set, migration idempotency)
- tests/unit/memory-needs-reindex.test.ts: 12 tests (mark/unmark, markAll, queue)
