feat!: providers use unified 'persistence' field

BREAKING CHANGE: Provider config field names changed for semantic clarity

- Rename kvstore → persistence for all providers
- Simple providers: flat persistence with backend reference
- Complex providers (agents): nested persistence.agent_state + persistence.responses
- Files provider: metadata_store → persistence
- Provider configs now clearly express 'how do I persist?' not 'what type of store?'

Example:
  # Before
  config:
    kvstore:
      backend: kvstore
      namespace: faiss

  # After
  config:
    persistence:
      backend: kvstore
      namespace: faiss

  # Agents (nested)
  config:
    persistence:
      agent_state:
        backend: kvstore
        namespace: agents
      responses:
        backend: sqlstore
        namespace: responses
