Teknium 55e9329ee6 feat(config): register bundled-skill API keys in OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS
Adds NOTION_API_KEY, LINEAR_API_KEY, TENOR_API_KEY, and AIRTABLE_API_KEY
to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS so:

- They persist to ~/.hermes/.env via save_env_value like every other
  key Hermes knows about, instead of being ad-hoc variables the user
  has to hand-edit the dotfile for.
- load_env() / reload_env() populate os.environ from .env on every
  startup — the user sets the key once, skills keep working across
  restarts without losing access.
- hermes setup / hermes config show surface them as known optional
  vars with the correct signup URL (linear.app/settings/api,
  airtable.com/create/tokens, etc.).

These four entries use category="skill" (new) rather than "tool".
tools/environments/local.py auto-adds every category=tool/messaging
entry to _HERMES_PROVIDER_ENV_BLOCKLIST, which stops env passthrough
from leaking provider credentials into the execute_code sandbox
(GHSA-rhgp-j443-p4rf). Skill API keys are the opposite case — the
point is for the agent's subprocess to see them so curl can read
Authorization headers — so they must be outside the blocklist. The
new category is inert for that check.

All four entries are advanced=True: they show up in 'hermes config'
and 'hermes status' displays, but do not nag users who have never
touched those skills during setup checklists.

E2E verified: save_env_value → reload_env → os.environ populated →
skill_view reports setup_needed=False → env_passthrough registers
the key for subprocess inheritance.
