* fix: bootstrap.py loads REPO_ROOT/.env so direct invocation matches start.sh

When users run 'python3 bootstrap.py' directly (the primary documented
entry point in README), HERMES_WEBUI_HOST, HERMES_WEBUI_PORT and other
.env settings were silently ignored because the shell-level 'source .env'
in start.sh was never executed.

Add _load_repo_dotenv() in bootstrap.py that reads REPO_ROOT/.env into
os.environ before DEFAULT_HOST / DEFAULT_PORT are evaluated at module
level. Uses unconditional assignment matching 'set -a; source .env'
shell semantics. Only loads the repo .env (bootstrap config) — not
~/.hermes/.env, which the server still loads independently at startup
for provider credentials.

Reported in #730 by @leap233 who had HERMES_WEBUI_HOST=0.0.0.0 and
HERMES_WEBUI_PORT=18787 in the webui .env; running bootstrap.py directly
caused the server to ignore both settings.

Tests: 15 new tests in tests/test_bootstrap_dotenv.py covering the
full loader (key=value, comments, blank lines, quoted values, no-file,
unreadable-file, overwrite semantics, values with = signs) and structural
assertions that _load_repo_dotenv() is called before DEFAULT_HOST/PORT.
1613 tests total.

* fix: address review feedback on PR #791

- bootstrap.py: document overwrite semantics and 'export' note in docstring
- bootstrap.py: handle 'export FOO=bar' prefix (strip before splitting on =)
- bootstrap.py: print warning to stderr on .env parse failure (not silent swallow)
- bootstrap.py: add side-effect comment at _load_repo_dotenv() call site
- CHANGELOG.md: restore v0.50.124 and v0.50.123 headers (were merged into
  v0.50.125 section, making three consecutive ### Fixed blocks with no ## header
  between them)
- tests: fix test_noop_when_dotenv_unreadable to assert warning is emitted
- tests: tighten test_does_not_set_empty_values with concrete assertion
- tests: add test_export_prefix_stripped
- tests: remove dead _import_bootstrap_with_env() helper (never called)
1614 tests total
