feat: context-aware risk scoring for tier detection (#681)

Resolves #681. Enhances approval tier detection with context-aware
risk scoring instead of pure pattern matching.

tools/risk_scorer.py:
- Path context: /tmp is safe, /etc/passwd is critical
- Command flags: --force increases risk, --dry-run decreases
- Scope assessment: wildcards and recursive increase risk
- Recency tracking: repeated dangerous commands escalate
- Safe paths: /tmp, ~/.hermes/sessions, project dirs
- Critical paths: /etc/passwd, ~/.ssh/id_rsa, /boot

score_action() returns RiskResult with tier, confidence,
reasons, and context_factors.
