feat(memories): #1791 route POST /memories through v2 plugin

Phase A2 step 1. Production audit on 2026-05-24 (post-#1747 merges)
revealed v2 plugin had ZERO rows on every active tenant despite the
sidecar being healthy — writes were still flowing to agent_memories
via the HTTP handler, not just the (already-migrated) MCP path.

Root cause: #1747 killed the v1 SQL fallback in MCP toolCommitMemory
and #1759 routed seedInitialMemories through plugin, but the
canvas-facing POST /workspaces/:id/memories handler still did raw
INSERT into agent_memories. ~1,750 rows accumulated on agents-team
alone (rate: 3 rows / 10 min during the 2026-05-24 session).

Fix mirrors #1759's seedInitialMemories pattern:

- MemoriesHandler gets memv2 *memoryV2Deps field + WithMemoryV2 setter.
- Commit() routes through plugin.CommitMemory using the namespace
  resolver to map scope→namespace (LOCAL→workspace, TEAM→team,
  GLOBAL→org). Source set to MemorySourceUser (HTTP path != MCP).
- No v1 SQL fallback: unwired plugin returns 503, matching #1747's
  no-fallback posture. New operators get a loud error, not silent drift.
- main.go (via router.go) wires memsh.WithMemoryV2 when memBundle is
  configured.
- Embedding call dropped from Commit (plugin owns its own embedding).
  Search and Update still use h.embed against the frozen v1 table —
  tracked separately so this PR stays single-axis.

Tests updated to use stub v2 plugin + resolver via withMemoryV2APIs.
Audit-log assertion (#767) preserved. New regression test pins
'h.embed must not be called on Commit post-#1791'.

Phase A2 step 2 (backfill the ~1,997 historical rows across 4 tenants
via cmd/memory-backfill) is the follow-up that lands after this stops
the v1 leak.

Closes part of #1791 (writer migration); #1791 itself stays open until
backfill completes.
