feat(neovim): add forward query history cycling (cycle_forward_query) (#435)

Add a new keymap 'cycle_forward_query' (default <C-Down>) that allows
navigating forward through the query history toward more recent queries.
This complements the existing 'cycle_previous_query' (<C-Up>) which
cycles backward, enabling full bidirectional navigation of query history
without losing your place.

- New config key: keymaps.cycle_forward_query (default: '<C-Down>')
- New function M.cycle_forward_query() that decrements history_offset
  to walk forward through recent entries
- Shares the history_offset state with recall_query_from_history for
  seamless bidirectional traversal
