fix(gemini): honor custom model ids instead of falling back to default (#227)

Selecting a custom Gemini model id not present in geminiModels (e.g.
gemini-3.5-flash) silently invoked geminiDefaultModelId. The settings
ModelPicker exposes a 'use custom model' option and useSelectedModel keeps
the configured id, so the UI and the actual request disagreed.

getModel() now honors a custom id when it looks like a Gemini model
(gemini- prefix), using the default model's structural info as a baseline
with pricing/tiers dropped so cost shows as unknown rather than the default
model's rates. Ids that don't look like Gemini still fall back to default.
