feat(openclaw): add autoRecall toggle and excludeProviders schema (#413)

Add `autoRecall` config option (default: true) to allow disabling
automatic memory recall injection when the host agent has its own
dedicated recall tool. This is backward compatible — existing
deployments continue auto-recalling as before.

Also add the existing `excludeProviders` field to the plugin.json
configSchema so it appears in the UI and docs.
