matt d8cb4a768b feat: implement message examples usage from character cards
Add support for using mes_example field from character cards to teach the AI the character's voice and writing style. Examples are parsed, processed with template variable replacement, and injected into the context at a configurable position.

Backend changes:
- Extended RoleplaySettings with examples_enabled and examples_position fields
- Implemented parse_message_examples() to parse <START>-delimited example blocks
- Added example injection in build_api_messages() with position control
- Integrated examples into token counter with accurate counting
- Created update_examples_settings command for saving settings

Frontend changes:
- Added Message Examples UI controls in Author's Note tab
- Checkbox to enable/disable examples
- Dropdown to select injection position (after_system/before_history)
- Save button with success/error feedback
- Token breakdown now shows examples token count
- Settings load/save integrated with roleplay panel

Message examples help the AI understand character personality, speaking patterns, and response style by providing concrete examples of how the character should respond.
