Subject: [PATCH] Install only bundled plugin manifests

The gateway runtime loads built plugins from dist/extensions, so the source extensions tree only needs manifest metadata for compatibility. Copy only openclaw.plugin.json files and assert the memory-core manifest exists in both compatibility and runtime trees.

Tests: sh -n nix/scripts/gateway-install.sh nix/scripts/check-package-contents.sh; git diff --check; nix build --dry-run .#checks.aarch64-darwin.package-contents .#checks.x86_64-linux.package-contents --accept-flake-config
