Implement image support in proxy with vision-aware routing

- Add Anthropic→OpenAI image block conversion with size validation
- Update ModelCapabilities with granular vision support fields
- Support base64-encoded images with memory optimization
- Add 20MB image size limit guard in conversion
- Clear base64 data from request blocks to reduce memory footprint
- Update mistral-large-3-675b model entry with vision capabilities
- Enable vision-aware model routing for image requests

Closes: image upload support in Claude Code proxy
