fix: match HF-style gemma-4 model names for tool_responses role

The gemma4 role fix (#5650) only matched Ollama-style names like gemma4:e2b. HF/vLLM/llama.cpp use gemma-4 with a hyphen, e.g. google/gemma-4-26B-A4B, which the substring check missed, causing the wrong tool role on non-Ollama backends.

Fixes #6334
