fix: reject dot-only config names

configNamePattern (^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$) permits "." and ".." as valid
provider/mcpServers/agents names, since a bare dot is in the allowed
character class. Both names read as directory-traversal segments once
embedded as a path segment in the gateway's own routes
(passthroughRoute's "/{provider}/*", targetRoute's "/mcp/{name}/*" and
"/a2a/{name}/*"). Nothing in this package's current path handling
mis-resolves them, but disallowing them at construction is cheap and
removes any future dependence on that staying true.

- providers.go: add dotOnlyConfigNames ({".", ".."}), checked in
  validateConfigName between the character-class check and the
  reserved-name check.
- provider_openai_test.go: extend TestValidateConfigName with "." and
  ".." cases (rejected) across provider/mcpServers/agents kinds, plus
  "..." (accepted — the rule is an exact match on "." and "..", not "any
  dots-only string").

Gates: go test ./... -count=1, go test ./... -race -count=1, gofmt -l .,
go vet ./..., make yaegi-check, golangci-lint run ./..., golangci-lint
run --enable=gosec ./..., fieldalignment ./... — all clean.
