fix(memory): filter noisy prefetch results before injection (#982)

Add line-level filtering to MemoryManager.prefetch_all() that removes:
- exact duplicate lines
- meta-instruction debris (prompts, templates like 'Focus on:')
- very short / content-free fragments (< 15 chars after markers)

This prevents noisy memory providers (e.g. MemPalace transcript recall)
from bloating the <memory-context> block with repeated instructions and
low-signal snippets.

Changes:
- agent/memory_manager.py: add _filter_prefetch_lines(),
  _is_meta_instruction_line(), _is_low_signal_line() helpers;
  wire filtering into prefetch_all()
- tests/agent/test_memory_provider.py: add TestPrefetchFiltering with
  8 tests covering dedup, meta-instruction removal, low-signal filtering,
  structured-fact preservation, and integration with prefetch_all()

Closes #982
