Subject: [PATCH] chore: remove dead top-level toolsets config key

The top-level 'toolsets' key in config.yaml was never read at runtime.
Tool selection uses platform_toolsets (per-platform) or the --toolsets
CLI flag. The key existed in load_cli_config() defaults and the example
config as 'toolsets: [all]', misleading users into thinking it
controlled tool availability.

- Remove from load_cli_config() hardcoded defaults
- Remove from hermes config show output
- Replace in cli-config.yaml.example with deprecation note pointing
  to platform_toolsets and hermes tools
