fix(cli): scroll the /model picker viewport so long catalogs aren't clipped

The /model picker rendered every choice into a prompt_toolkit Window
with no max height. Providers with many models (e.g. Ollama Cloud's 36+)
overflowed the terminal, clipping the bottom border and the last items.

- Add HermesCLI._compute_model_picker_viewport() to slide a scroll
  offset that keeps the cursor on screen, sized from the live terminal
  rows minus chrome reserved for input/status/border.
- Render only the visible slice in _get_model_picker_display() and
  persist the offset on _model_picker_state across redraws.
- Bind ESC (eager) to close the picker, matching the Cancel button.
- Cover the viewport math with 8 unit tests in
  tests/hermes_cli/test_model_picker_viewport.py.
