chore(models): retire deprecated models, simplify thinking config

Trim each provider to current-generation models and drop the special-casing
they required:

- OpenAI: remove gpt-4.1 (deprecated; the only non-reasoning model).
- Anthropic: remove Claude Sonnet 4.5 (legacy; the only Sonnet that 400s on effort).
- Google: remove the Gemini 2.5 line (superseded by 3.x).
- Gemini client: drop the integer thinking_budget mapping; 3.x takes the string
  thinking_level directly.

Effort/reasoning gates stay as defense in depth for custom model IDs. All kept
IDs verified against live APIs.

+The catalog is Gemini 3.x only, which takes the string ``thinking_level``
