M7.2: share the loop's parts
CI / checks (push) Skipped
CI / checks (pull_request) Successful in 2m21s
CI / e2e (pull_request) Successful in 11m45s

Shared parts, not a shared scheduler (agreed): nisse-review will have its
own small scheduler; a common one waits until two exist to compare.

- nisse_core.loop.driver: the driver run, moved; the agent names its
  waiting tools per run (nisse-dev's are WAITING_TOOLS), and execution
  goes to any Executor (ToolOutcome moves with it).
- nisse_core.loop.tools: the tool helper and the tools any agent offers
  (notes, memory, memory_done, ask_expert); nisse_core.loop.expert.
- nisse_core.knowledge.handlers: Knowledge, the vault and memory as
  control tools, the index and prompt text, out of LoopAgent.
- nisse_core.config: file reading, references, people, tuning sections of
  the agent's own, LLM numbers, the vault.
- New core tests: a driver run with a non-workspace executor and the
  agent's own waiting set; Knowledge alone; the shared config pieces.

Docs: the Development Plan marks M7.2 done; Architecture Part L and the
nisse-core README name the new parts.
