chore: migrate tooling/ to ethrex-tooling repo

Move all development tooling (EF tests, load tests, monitor TUI, REPL,
benchmarks, etc.) to the external lambdaclass/ethrex-tooling repository.

- Delete the in-repo tooling/ directory (~130 files)
- Change ethrex-monitor and ethrex-repl to git deps with rev pinning
- Add [patch."https://github.com/lambdaclass/ethrex"] section so
  tooling's transitive deps resolve to local workspace crates
- Update CI workflows to checkout ethrex-tooling into tooling/
- Remove stale tooling/ path triggers from LEVM workflow
- Remove tooling manifest entries from Makefile cargo-lock targets
- Update Dockerfile to drop tooling COPY and handle chef cook failures
- Add tooling/ to .gitignore to prevent accidental commits
- Update docs and README to reference ethrex-tooling repo
- Add .cargo/config.toml.example for local cross-repo development

Closes #6487
