Patrick Plate 2ab847f51d feat(webscraper): add Brave Search hint tool and User-Agent header

- Add webscraper_search_hint() tool using Brave Search as backend
  (no CAPTCHA/GDPR consent wall, works with plain httpx)
- Add User-Agent header to _fetch_page() — fixes 403 on Wikipedia,
  Feynman Lectures, and other sites that block headless requests
- Add 5 new tests for search hint (23 total, 90% coverage)

Brave Search URL: https://search.brave.com/search?q={query}&source=web
Use sparingly — once per research task as orientation, not in loops
