feat: read providers from cfg registry instead of config.yaml

- providers/list/test now read from cfg (HERMES_CUSTOM_PROVIDERS)
- switch writes target provider into config.yaml custom_providers and restarts gateway
- standard providers (openrouter, anthropic) clear custom_providers on switch
- fallback to config.yaml if cfg unavailable
