fix(gemini): strip unsupported JSON Schema fields from tool declarations

Every exec against the Google/Gemini provider failed: Zero emits tool
parameter schemas in OpenAI's JSON Schema dialect, which always includes
`additionalProperties` (schemaToRuntimeMap writes it unconditionally).
Google's functionDeclarations schema doesn't recognize that keyword and
400s the whole request — "Unknown name \"additionalProperties\" …
Cannot find field" — so no tool-using call ever reached the model.

Sanitize tool parameters in the Gemini mapper (only there — the field is
valid and wanted for OpenAI strict mode and harmless for Anthropic):

- sanitizeGeminiSchema keeps only the keywords Gemini's Schema type
  supports (type, description, enum, properties, required, items, anyOf,
  default, nullable, format, and the min/max/length constraints) via an
  allowlist, so any future OpenAI-ism or MCP-supplied field can't leak.
- Recurses through properties, items, and anyOf so nested schemas are
  cleaned at every depth, not just the top level.

Tests: a unit test on the sanitizer (nesting, legit fields preserved,
nil-safe) and an end-to-end test asserting the outgoing request body's
functionDeclarations[].parameters carry no additionalProperties while the
real schema survives. Bypassing the sanitizer reproduces the reported
payload, so the coverage is red-green.

Fixes #373
