docs(hermes): correct plugin install path (#197)

[rohitg00]

Summary

• Hermes scans ~/.hermes/plugins/<name>/ flat-only for memory providers
• memory/ category namespace is reserved for bundled providers, so user plugins nested under it are never discovered
• Fix path in README and integrations/hermes/README.md from ~/.hermes/plugins/memory/agentmemory to ~/.hermes/plugins/agentmemory

Thanks @LehaoLin for the precise repro and source-pointer to plugins/memory/__init__.py.

Closes #197

Test plan

• Cold-install on a fresh Hermes setup at ~/.hermes/plugins/agentmemory/
• Verify memory.provider: agentmemory resolves on Hermes startup

Summary by CodeRabbit

Documentation

• Updated Hermes integration setup instructions to reference a simplified plugin installation directory path, streamlining the configuration process and providing clearer guidance for users implementing the integration.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Documentation correction updating the Hermes plugin installation path from a nested directory structure (~/.hermes/plugins/memory/agentmemory) to a flat structure (~/.hermes/plugins/agentmemory) to align with Hermes' plugin discovery mechanism that only scans one level deep.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Documentation Path Corrections README.md, integrations/hermes/README.md	Updated Hermes integration installation instructions to use flat plugin directory layout (~/.hermes/plugins/agentmemory) instead of nested layout (~/.hermes/plugins/memory/agentmemory) for proper plugin discovery.

Poem

🐰 Hop from memory's nested hall,
To plugins flat—just one level tall!
Hermes scans but one layer deep,
So flat's the path our plugins keep! 🥕

Update the installation path in integrations/hermes/__init__.py docstring.

The README correctly updates the installation path to ~/.hermes/plugins/agentmemory/, but the docstring in integrations/hermes/__init__.py (line 4) still references the old nested path: ~/.hermes/plugins/memory/agentmemory/.
