feat(memory): introduce long-term memory feature with i18n updates

- Added a new configuration option for agents to enable or disable long-term memory.
- Implemented UI elements in the Agent Editor for managing long-term memory settings.
- Updated internationalization files for English, Korean, Russian, and Chinese to include new labels and descriptions related to long-term memory.
- Enhanced backend logic to support memory retrieval and management based on user and agent preferences.
- Introduced a new tool for searching long-term memory, ensuring it respects the agent's memory settings.
- Added tests to verify the functionality of the new memory features and their integration with existing systems.
