feat: bake Matrix bridge deps into Docker image instead of volume mount

The volume mount at /mnt/HoardingCow_docker_data/Hermes/venv overrides the
container's built .venv with an empty or stale host directory, causing
entrypoint.sh line 62 to fail on 'source .venv/bin/activate' (set -e).

The Docker image already builds a complete venv — no need to persist it.
