feat(cli): preserve --tui and other flags across internal relaunches

Extract all os.execvp('hermes', ...) calls into a utility so flags like
--tui, --dev, --profile, --model, --provider, et al. survive session
resume and post-setup relaunch.

- resolve_hermes_bin: prefers sys.argv[0] when callable, then PATH,
  then falls back to '${sys.executable} -m hermes_cli.main' (fixes nix
run relaunches)
- build_relaunch_argv: allowlists critical flags so they carry over
- cmd_sessions browse now calls relaunch(['--resume', <id>])
- _apply_profile_override skips redundant work when HERMES_HOME is
  already set (child inherits parent profile)
- setup.py replaces _resolve_hermes_chat_argv with relaunch_chat()
- added comprehensive tests for flag extraction and binary resolution

"""
Unified self-relaunch for Hermes CLI.
Preserves critical flags (--tui, --dev, --profile, --model, etc.) across
process replacement so that ``hermes sessions browse`` or post-setup relaunch
doesn't silently drop the user's UI mode or other preferences.
Also works when ``hermes`` is not on PATH (e.g. ``nix run`` or ``python -m``).
