Fix hash-based deduplication FT.AGGREGATE query execution

Fixes issue #31 where hash-based deduplication reported finding N groups
but merged 0 memories, causing confusing logs.

**Root Cause:**
- FT.AGGREGATE query was executed as a single string via execute_command()
- This bypassed the FILTER "@count>1" clause, returning all groups including
  unique memories (count=1)
- Processing logic correctly skipped count<=1 groups, resulting in 0 merges

**Solution:**
- Change FT.AGGREGATE execution from single string to individual arguments
- Use execute_command(*agg_query) instead of execute_command(agg_query)
- This ensures the FILTER clause properly excludes unique memories
- Added clearer logging messages

**Testing:**
- All existing tests pass
- Verified fix with integration test showing:
  - 5 memories (2 duplicates + 3 unique) → 4 memories (1 duplicate removed)
  - Proper logging: "Found 1 groups with hash-based duplicates to process"
  - Correctly removes duplicate while preserving unique memories
