fix: restore() now properly persists data to storage (CRITICAL)

Previous versions had complete data loss bug where restore() only wrote to memory cache without updating indexes or persisting to disk/cloud. Data disappeared on restart.

Root cause: restore() called storage.saveNoun() directly, bypassing proper persistence path through brain.add().

Fix: Now uses brain.addMany() and brain.relateMany() which:
- Updates all 5 indexes (HNSW, metadata, adjacency, sparse, type-aware)
- Properly persists to disk/cloud storage
- Uses storage-aware batching for optimal performance
- Prevents circuit breaker activation
- Data survives instance restart

Added features:
- Progress reporting via onProgress callback
- Detailed error tracking and reporting
- Cross-storage restore support (backup from GCS, restore to filesystem, etc.)
- Automatic verification after restore

Breaking change: Return type changed from Promise<void> to detailed result object. Impact is minimal as most code doesn't use return value.
