--functions can take filenames, can be used multiple times (#681)

Closes #659

The --functions option now accepts:
- File paths ending in .py (e.g., --functions my_funcs.py)
- Multiple invocations (e.g., --functions foo.py --functions 'def bar(): ...')
- Inline Python code (existing behavior)

Implementation follows the same pattern as llm's --functions flag
(simonw/llm@a880c123).

Changes:
- Added multiple=True to --functions Click option in query, bulk, and memory commands
- Modified _register_functions() to detect and read .py files
- Updated _maybe_register_functions() to iterate over multiple function sources
- Removed unused bytes/bytearray handling
- Added comprehensive tests for file paths and multiple invocations
- Updated documentation with examples
