feat: add Exa web search provider as alternative to Brave

Add ExaSearchProvider implementing the SearchProvider interface, using
the Exa AI neural search API (api.exa.ai) with inline highlights for
content snippets. Provider priority is Brave > Exa > DuckDuckGo.

Changes:
- New ExaSearchProvider with POST-based API, x-api-key auth, and
  x-exa-integration header
- ExaConfig with enabled, api_key, max_results fields
- Configurable via JSON config or env vars (PICOCLAW_TOOLS_WEB_EXA_*)
- Config migration support for Exa settings
- Unit tests for provider creation, priority, and missing key handling
- Updated all READMEs (en, ja, zh), config examples, and .env.example
