feat(cli): emit JSON envelope on init --agent --json reuse paths

PRD's documented form is `mem0 init --agent --json`, but rules 1/2
(env/config reuse) called printSuccess which is silenced under
agent mode — so the command exited 0 with no output.

Two related fixes:

1. Add `--json` as a subcommand-level option on init (Node only;
   Python's argv preprocessor already handles this). Lets the
   PRD-style invocation `mem0 init --agent --json` parse without
   "unknown option" error.

2. When agent mode is set AND a rule 1/2 reuse fires, emit the
   Dev Spec C4 envelope:
     {
       "status": "success", "command": "init",
       "data": {
         "api_key_saved": false,
         "api_key_source": "env" | "config",
         "agent_mode": false,
         "message": "Existing Mem0 API key found and reused..."
       }
     }
   Identical shape between Python and Node (parity).

Verified live: `init --agent --json` against prod with a valid
MEM0_API_KEY env returns the envelope above (no bootstrap call).
