Enhance runtime testing to support multiple modalities

- Expand capability detection beyond just images to include audio
- Return detailed capability dict instead of boolean
- Test image, audio, and potentially video support
- Generate appropriate modality combinations (text+image, text+audio, text+image+audio)
- Update tests to expect enhanced capabilities for gpt-4o models
- Prepare framework for future video and other modality testing

This addresses the question about testing video and other modals.
The system now comprehensively tests multiple modalities and returns
the appropriate combinations based on what the model actually supports.
