feat: Enhance memory system with isolated memory configuration (#2597)

* feat: support defining any memory in an isolated way

This change makes it easier to use a specific memory type without unintentionally enabling all others.

Previously, setting memory=True would implicitly configure all available memories (like LTM and STM), which might not be ideal in all cases. For example, when building a chatbot that only needs an external memory, users were forced to also configure LTM and STM — which rely on default OpenAPI embeddings — even if they weren’t needed.

With this update, users can now define a single memory in isolation, making the configuration process simpler and more flexible.

* feat: add tests to ensure we are able to use contextual memory by set individual memories

* docs: enhance memory documentation

* feat: warn when long-term memory is defined but entity memory is not
