Subject: [PATCH] feat: add supportsNativeTools toggle to OpenAI-compatible
 custom model info

This allows users to disable native tool calling for OpenAI-compatible
models that do not properly support the OpenAI function calling format.

Users can now set supportsNativeTools: false in the custom model info
settings to fall back to XML-based tool definitions.

Closes #10477
