fix: guard int(os.getenv()) casts against malformed env vars (#40598)

A non-numeric value in env vars like HERMES_STREAM_RETRIES,
HERMES_KANBAN_SPECIFY_MAX_TOKENS, GOOGLE_CHAT_MAX_BYTES, IRC_PORT, etc.
raised ValueError at import/init and crashed startup. Parse them safely,
falling back to the default.

Unified onto the existing utils.env_int(key, default) helper for core/
hermes_cli/tools modules instead of the original PR's three duplicate
local helpers; plugins keep minimal inline guards (no core-utils import).
All existing max()/min()/`or extra.get()` wrappers preserved.
