feat(FN-1772): add backend-aware memory instruction context API

- Add MemoryBackendContext interface for backend-aware memory integration
- Implement getMemoryInstructions() method with backend-specific logic in project-memory.ts
- Add QMD memory backend type detection and instruction context for QMD-backed projects
- Update memory-plugin-contract.md with backend-variant instruction requirements (section 3.8.7)
- Update settings reference for memoryBackendType with custom backend support
- Add comprehensive regression tests for backend-variant memory instruction behavior
- Add changeset for @gsxdsm/fusion package
