teknium1 de2d6a1b93 fix(config): a fresh process recovers the last good config.yaml instead of running on defaults
The in-process last-known-good (the codex#31188 port) only protects a
long-running gateway. A CLI restart or `hermes config get` against broken
YAML fell through to DEFAULT_CONFIG and silently dropped every override,
including approvals.deny (#102945).

Every successful parse now leaves a `good` copy in backups/config/ through
the existing bounded, byte-deduped backup_config(); the fallback reads the
newest one, runs it through the normal canonicalize/expand/managed-overlay
pipeline, and says so on stderr. The broken config.yaml is never modified.
The backup is the raw file, so ${VAR} templates stay templates on disk.

Redo of #61796 (which added a config.validated.yaml sibling and
re-validated the whole config on every load) on top of the backups/config/
ruling from bf53ff00a7.

"""Point-in-time copies of ``config.yaml``: one directory, one naming scheme, bounded count.
Every writer that wants a "before" copy of the user's config (setup wizard, corrupt-file
snapshot, model migrations) goes through :func:`backup_config`. Copies live in
``<HERMES_HOME>/backups/config/`` — ``backups/`` is already excluded from full backups, so they
never nest — as ``config.yaml.<reason>.<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>``. A copy identical to the newest one
for the same reason is skipped, and only the newest ``keep`` per reason survive, so repeated
``hermes setup`` runs or a gateway restarting against broken YAML cannot litter the home dir.
