feat: generic chat_template_kwargs (model config + per-request metadata) (#10359)

* feat(config): add chat_template_kwargs model field + resolver

Adds the ChatTemplateKwargs model-config map and RequestMetadata carrier,
plus ResolveChatTemplateKwargs which layers the config map under coerced
request metadata. Foundation for generic jinja chat-template kwargs (issue #10329).

* feat(backend): forward resolved chat_template_kwargs blob to backends

gRPCPredictOpts now merges per-request client metadata over the server-derived
enable_thinking/reasoning_effort (reaching all backends via the standalone keys)
and serialises the resolved chat_template_kwargs map into a JSON blob for
llama.cpp, written last so a client cannot clobber it. Issue #10329.

* feat(http): wire request metadata to config.RequestMetadata

The OpenAI request metadata field was parsed but unused; stamp it onto the
per-request ModelConfig so gRPCPredictOpts forwards it as chat_template_kwargs
overrides. Issue #10329.

* feat(llama-cpp): generic chat_template_kwargs merge (drop per-key blocks)

Replace the per-key enable_thinking/reasoning_effort handling in both the
streaming and non-streaming chat paths with a single block that parses the
chat_template_kwargs JSON blob resolved by the Go layer and merges every key
into body_json. New jinja template levers (e.g. preserve_thinking) now need
no C++ change. Issue #10329.

Issue #10329.

* test(backend): pin reasoning_effort as a string in the chat_template_kwargs blob

Issue #10329.

* test(http): e2e guard pinning chat_template_kwargs forwarded to gRPC

Adds an ECHO_PREDICT_METADATA marker to the mock-backend that echoes the
received PredictOptions.Metadata, and an app_test.go spec that drives a real
/v1/chat/completions request (model chat_template_kwargs + per-request metadata
override) and asserts the exact metadata + chat_template_kwargs blob the REST
layer forwards to gRPC. Locks the REST->gRPC contract against regressions. Issue #10329.

* test(config): grandfather chat_template_kwargs in registry coverage

chat_template_kwargs is a free-form map[string]any (like engine_args, already
on the list), not a scalar the config UI registry can surface, so it is exempt
from the registry-entry requirement. Fixes the TestAllFieldsHaveRegistryEntries
failure introduced by the new field. Issue #10329.
