feat(cli): collapse regional duplicates; refresh Qwen catalog

Qwen and MiniMax each had two main-dropdown entries (intl + CN);
consolidate to one entry per provider and prompt for region as a
secondary step. Internal provider keys (qwen-cn, minimax-cn) and
endpoint routing unchanged. Add qwen3.6-flash to the Qwen catalog
and drop the version-less aliases (qwen-flash, qwen-plus) that
auto-shift their backing model per Alibaba's docs.
