feat(settings): v0.13 polish — redaction hint, display.language picker, xAI cloning badge (WS-8)

Three Settings-tab surfaces tracking v0.13 release notes:

- **Redaction default-flip awareness** (Advanced → Caching & Redaction):
  inline hint below the existing toggle whose copy depends on
  `HermesCapabilities.isV013OrLater`. v0.13 flipped the server-side
  default from OFF (v0.12) to ON, but Scarf's parser still treats
  "absent key" as `false`. Hint disambiguates so users on v0.13 hosts
  understand redaction is on server-side even when the toggle reads OFF.

- **`display.language` picker** (General → Locale): 8-option enum (`""`
  default + en/zh/ja/de/es/fr/uk/tr) capability-gated on
  `hasDisplayLanguage`. Persists via `hermes config set
  display.language <code>`. Empty string preserves "no key" semantics
  (Hermes-default English); explicit `en` pins it. Required a small
  `optionLabel:` overload on `PickerRow` so non-English labels
  (中文 / 日本語 / etc.) render alongside their codes.

- **xAI Custom Voices badge** (Voice → Text-to-Speech): adds `xai`
  to the TTS provider picker (un-gated — xAI TTS shipped earlier),
  exposes Voice ID + Model fields, and renders a "Cloning supported"
  ScarfBadge gated on `hasXAIVoiceCloning`. Hint copy points at
  `hermes voice` for cloned-voice management since Scarf has no
  in-app surface for that yet (out-of-scope for v2.8).

Capability gates: `isV013OrLater` (hint discriminator),
`hasDisplayLanguage` (picker), `hasXAIVoiceCloning` (badge). Pre-v0.13
hosts see the v2.7.5 layout unchanged.

`TODO(WS-8-Q2)` flags the assumed xAI YAML keys (`tts.xai.voice_id` /
`tts.xai.model` mirroring elevenlabs) for grep-verify against
`~/.hermes/hermes-agent/hermes_cli/voice/tts.py`.

iOS deferred to v2.9 (Q4): `Scarf iOS` Settings is read-mostly and
doesn't have a write surface for either the language picker or the
xAI fields.
