refactor(storage): remove MinIO backend, filesystem-only storage

Remove the MinIO/S3 storage backend entirely. The filesystem backend is fully implemented, already used in production, and a migrate-storage tool exists for any remaining MinIO deployments to migrate beforehand. Changes: - Delete MinIO client implementation (internal/storage/storage.go) - Delete migrate-storage tool (cmd/migrate-storage, scripts/migrate-storage.sh) - Remove MinIO service, volumes, and env vars from all Docker Compose files - Simplify StorageConfig: remove Endpoint, AccessKey, SecretKey, Bucket, UseSSL, Region fields; add SILO_STORAGE_ROOT_DIR env override - Change all SQL COALESCE defaults from 'minio' to 'filesystem' - Add migration 020 to update column defaults to 'filesystem' - Remove minio-go/v7 dependency (go mod tidy) - Update all config examples, setup scripts, docs, and tests
