feat: switch primary provider to Ollama Cloud DeepSeek V4 Flash

- Remove OpenCode Go provider (reasoning-only mode, unusable for long prompts)
- Add Ollama Cloud provider (deepseek-v4-flash:cloud) as primary
- Add .geocode_cache.json to .gitignore
- Keep trimmed prompt (reduced from ~350 to ~180 tokens)
- Keep OpenRouter DeepSeek + Gemma + Gemini as fallback chain
