Improve temporal grounding by providing current datetime context

- Add current_datetime parameter to DISCRETE_EXTRACTION_PROMPT
- Include current date/time context for LLM to resolve relative temporal references
- Update extraction calls in both extraction.py and long_term_memory.py
- Enhanced temporal grounding examples: 'next week' → specific date ranges
- Enables proper resolution of 'yesterday', 'tomorrow', 'next week', 'last month', etc.

Fixes temporal grounding test failures where LLM couldn't resolve relative dates
without current datetime context.
