refactor(agents): group filesystem backends under filesystem/backends/

The concrete filesystem backends are consumed only by the MAC filesystem
layer (tools, path-resolution middleware, the resolver, skills backend) and
tests -- no external app code. Group them next to the filesystem middleware
they serve:

- filesystem_backends.py            -> filesystem/backends/resolver.py
- middleware/kb_postgres_backend.py -> filesystem/backends/kb_postgres.py
- middleware/local_folder_backend.py -> filesystem/backends/local_folder.py
- middleware/multi_root_local_folder_backend.py -> .../multi_root_local_folder.py
- document_xml.py                   -> filesystem/backends/document_xml.py

Repoint all 21 importers. No behavior change; import-all + filesystem
backend/path-resolution/knowledge-search unit tests stay green (478).
