Subject: [PATCH] Update documentation: Remove claims about pre-configured
 Moltbook API key (v1.0.5)

- Fixed README.md 'API key is pre-configured' claim
- Fixed scripts/MOLTBOOK_POST.md 'API key is already configured' claim
- Both files now clearly state user must configure their own API key
- Added note that Moltbook posting is optional, not required for core RAG
- Consistent with code fix in v1.0.5 removing hard-coded credential
