assistant: Make scripting a first-class concept instead of a tool (#26338)
This PR makes refactors the scripting functionality to be a first-class
concept of the assistant instead of a generic tool, which will allow us
to build a more customized experience.

- The tool prompt has been slightly tweaked and is now included as a
system message in all conversations. I'm getting decent results, but now
that it isn't in the tools framework, it will probably require more
refining.

- The model will now include an `<eval ...>` tag at the end of the
message with the script. We parse this tag incrementally as it streams
in so that we can indicate that we are generating a script before we see
the closing `</eval>` tag. Later, this will help us interpret the script
as it arrives also.

- Threads now hold a `ScriptSession` entity which manages the state of
all scripts (from parsing to exited) in a centralized way, and will
later collect all script operations so they can be displayed in the UI.

- `script_tool` has been renamed to `assistant_scripting` 

- Script source now opens in a regular read-only buffer  

Note: We still need to handle persistence properly

Release Notes:

- N/A

You can write a Lua script and I'll run it on my codebase and tell you what its
output was, including both stdout as well as the git diff of changes it made to
the filesystem. That way, you can get more information about the code base, or
make changes to the code base directly.
Put the Lua script inside of an `<eval>` tag like so:
<eval type="lua">
print("Hello, world!")
</eval>
The Lua script will have access to `io` and it will run with the current working
directory being in the root of the code base, so you can use it to explore,
search, make changes, etc. You can also have the script print things, and I'll
tell you what the output was. Note that `io` only has `open`, and then the file
it returns only has the methods read, write, and close - it doesn't have popen
or anything else.
There will be a global called `search` which accepts a regex (it's implemented
using Rust's regex crate, so use that regex syntax) and runs that regex on the
contents of every file in the code base (aside from gitignored files), then
returns an array of tables with two fields: "path" (the path to the file that
had the matches) and "matches" (an array of strings, with each string being a
match that was found within the file).
When I send you the script output, do not thank me for running it,
act as if you ran it yourself.
IMPORTANT!
Only include a maximum of one Lua script at the very end of your message
DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING ELSE AFTER THE SCRIPT. Wait for my response with the script
output to continue.
