feat: function-calling (MCP-style) tests plus ultra-hard tasks

Adds real OpenAI function-calling support end to end and two test tranches.

Client (internal/llm): Request.Tools advertises tools with tool_choice
auto; Response.ToolCalls carries the model's calls, decoding each
function's JSON-encoded argument string into an object (malformed
arguments preserved raw with Decoded=false). Verified live: the gateway
round-trips tools and the qwen/deepseek tool-call parsers emit the
expected format.

Runner: when a test declares Tools, it serializes the model's tool calls
into a canonical JSON envelope and scores that, not the free text.

Eval (toolcall.go): ToolCalled, NoToolCalled, ToolCallWithArgs (subset
match, number/string coercion), ToolSequence, FirstToolIs, ToolNotCalled,
ToolArgValuesCover - all parse the envelope, no llm dependency.

Tests: 12 function-calling tests (tools/function-calling) covering tool
selection, argument extraction, enum constraints, chained and parallel
calls, no-tool-needed and missing-param abstention, destructive-tool
safety, and name-vs-description traps; 8 ultra-hard single-shot tasks in
existing subcategories. Ground-truth self-consistency tests assert every
documented answer and ideal tool envelope scores 1.0.
