fix(mem0-plugin): graceful degradation without API key, stdin support

- SessionStart shows "Mem0 Inactive" banner with identity info when no
  API key set, instead of silently exiting with zero output
- on_user_prompt.sh fires error/file-path detection even without API key
  (local pattern matching, no API needed). Search rubric still gated.
- parse_export_file.py supports '-' argument for stdin piping
