Refactor: Remove hook-templates and related functionality

- Updated the published package contents to exclude `hook-templates`.
- Removed references to the hooks directory and related scripts in the installation and uninstallation processes.
- Simplified the status command by eliminating checks for runtime hook scripts.
- Adjusted the path discovery service to remove methods related to hook templates.
- Updated the installation logic to directly configure hooks using CLI commands.
- Cleaned up the uninstall process to remove claude-mem hooks from settings.
