Fix GLM and Kimi tool calling crashes (#1255)

## Motivation

Fixes tool calling crashes with GLM-4.7-Flash and Kimi-K2 models.

Related: #1254

Two distinct issues were causing crashes:
1. **Tool parser crashes** - The upstream GLM47 and Kimi tool parsers
call `.group()` on regex matches without checking for `None`, causing
`AttributeError` when the model outputs malformed tool calls
2. **Chat template crashes** - GLM's chat template expects
`tool_calls[].function.arguments` to be a dict, but OpenAI format
provides it as a JSON string, causing `'str object' has no attribute
'items'`

## Changes

**`src/exo/worker/runner/runner.py`:**
- Add `patch_glm_tokenizer()` - fixed version of mlx_lm's glm47 parser
with None checks
- Fix `patch_kimi_tokenizer()` - add None checks before calling
`.group()` on regex matches
- Add `ValueError` and `AttributeError` to exception handling in
`parse_tool_calls()`

**`src/exo/worker/engines/mlx/utils_mlx.py`:**
- Add `_normalize_tool_calls()` - parses
`tool_calls[].function.arguments` from JSON string to dict for templates
that expect dicts (like GLM-4.7-Flash)

## Why It Works

1. **Parser fixes**: By checking if regex matches are `None` before
calling `.group()`, we can raise a proper `ValueError` instead of
crashing with `AttributeError`

2. **Template fix**: The GLM-4.7-Flash chat template iterates over
arguments with `.items()`:
   ```jinja2
   {% set _args = tc.arguments %}{% for k, v in _args.items() %}
   ```
OpenAI format has `arguments` as a JSON string.
`_normalize_tool_calls()` parses this to a dict before passing to the
template.

## Test Plan

### Manual Testing
- Hardware: Mac with GLM-4.7-Flash-4bit model
- Tested tool calling with GLM model - no longer crashes

### Automated Testing
- Existing tests pass (`uv run pytest`)
- Type checking passes (`uv run basedpyright`)
- Linting passes (`uv run ruff check`)
