fix: use outlines v1.2 get_regex_logits_processor API (#202)

The outlines v1.2 API requires:
1. Wrapping the HF model+tokenizer in outlines.Transformers
2. Calling get_regex_logits_processor(None, wrapped, regex)

Prior code tried to construct OutlinesLogitsProcessor directly with
a tokenizer= kwarg that doesn't exist in v1.2. The error was caught
and silently fell back to unconstrained generation.

Tests now verify the ACTUAL API surface (import paths + factory
function signature) instead of just checking class names exist.
This would have caught all three prior Outlines bugs:
- PR #197: wrong class name (RegexLogitsProcessor)
- PR #201: wrong constructor (tokenizer= kwarg)
- This PR: wrong API pattern (direct constructor vs factory)

33/33 tests pass with outlines 1.2.12 installed.
