refactor: simplify ServiceRegistry by removing over-engineering

CHANGES:
- ServiceRegistry: Remove unused methods (register_factory, has, remove,
  reset_factories, get_registered_types) and unnecessary class variables
- ServiceRegistry: Reduce from 235 lines to 120 lines (-48%)
- Simplify CaptureService.get_default_service() to remove factory abstraction
- Update SyncService.get_sync_service() to use simplified registry API

RATIONALE:
ServiceRegistry had premature optimization with unused factory registration
pattern and close handlers that were never invoked. Kept the three methods
that are actually used: get(), register(), and reset(). This improves
clarity and maintainability while preserving all functionality.

TESTING:
- All 157 core service tests pass (capture, recall, sync)
- Full test suite: 715/716 pass (1 pre-existing unrelated failure)
- No behavior changes, functionality fully preserved
