Add feature: hermes-agent.nousresearch.com

[Copilot]

Adds a devcontainer feature for Hermes Agent — the self-improving AI agent by Nous Research — installing the hermes CLI via the official install script.

Changes

• src/hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/ — Feature definition using curl install method; runs the upstream script as the remote user with --skip-setup to avoid interactive prompts during container build
• test/hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/test.sh — Smoke test: hermes --version
• README.md — Feature table entry added alphabetically between helix-editor.com and icholy/ttygif

Install method

# Runs as $_REMOTE_USER during container build
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/main/scripts/install.sh \
  | bash -s -- --skip-setup

Binary lands at ~/.local/bin/hermes. Prerequisites (curl, ca-certificates, git) installed via apt before the curl invocation.

Fixed in 87ef0a4. The hermes installer downloads Node.js as a .tar.xz archive, but xz-utils (the decompressor) was missing from the base container. Added it to the apt prerequisites.
