fix(#892): Gateway config validation and fallback fixes

Config validator and fallback fixes:
- Validate required keys (OPENROUTER_API_KEY, API_SERVER_KEY)
- Fix idle_minutes validation (>0 required)
- Fix Discord skill limit (reduce to 95 max)
- Validate provider configs
- Apply sensible defaults

Resolves #892
