Add import/export and backup system (Milestone 8)

- Obsidian vault importer with wikilink → edge conversion
- Markdown folder importer with frontmatter parsing
- Markdown exporter with wikilinks and frontmatter
- JSON-LD linked data exporter
- Database backup/restore functionality
- CLI: import, backup, restore-backup, list-backups
- MCP tools: memory_import, memory_backup, memory_export_markdown, memory_export_jsonld
