Tai An 2a4426c5ec fix(reasoning): don't persist request-scoped reasoning_effort as an operator disable (#10622) (#10623)
* fix(reasoning): don't persist request-scoped reasoning_effort into model config

When a model sets `reasoning_effort: none` (or any default) in its YAML
without an explicit `reasoning.disable`, ApplyReasoningEffort resolves that
default at request time and sets ReasoningConfig.DisableReasoning on the
request-scoped config copy. The post-load thinking/marker probe then wrote
that request-scoped value back into the loader's persistent config via
UpdateModelConfig, making it look as though the operator had explicitly set
reasoning.disable=true. From then on, per-request `reasoning_effort` overrides
were silently ignored (an explicit operator disable wins over a request
asking to think).

DetectThinkingSupportFromBackend only fills reasoning slots that are still
nil, so a slot already set here came from ApplyReasoningEffort, not the probe.
Snapshot which slots were nil before the probe and only persist those, so the
probe's genuine backend detection is still saved while request-time reasoning
effort never leaks into the persistent config.

Fixes #10622

* test(reasoning): cover persist-guard added in this PR, extract for testability

ModelInference's post-probe persistence of ReasoningConfig.DisableReasoning /
DisableReasoningTagPrefill had no test: the guard logic lived inline in a
closure only reachable through a live gRPC backend. Extract it into
persistProbedReasoning (pure refactor, no behavior change) so it can be
exercised directly against a ModelConfigLoader, then add specs covering:

- a probe-filled slot (nil beforehand) gets persisted
- a slot that already carried a request-scoped value (e.g. from
  reasoning_effort: none) is left alone, i.e. the #10622 regression stays
  fixed
- an operator's explicit persisted disable is preserved when the guard is
  false
- the media marker still persists unconditionally

Verified red/green: reverting persistProbedReasoning to the old unconditional
copy fails exactly the two guard specs.
