feat(openai): add GPT-5.6 Sol/Terra/Luna models

Add the GPT-5.6 family (GA 2026-07-09) to the native OpenAI provider, and by
extension OpenRouter.

- packages/types/src/providers/openai.ts: three openAiNativeModels entries
  (gpt-5.6-sol/terra/luna) templated on gpt-5.5 — 1.05M context, 128K output,
  the new `max` reasoning-effort level, verbosity, and pricing $5/$30,
  $2.50/$15, $1/$6 (in/out) with 90%-off cache reads. Promote gpt-5.6-sol to
  openAiNativeDefaultModelId.
- packages/types/src/providers/index.ts: getProviderDefaultModelId(
  "openai-native") now returns openAiNativeDefaultModelId instead of a stale
  hardcoded "gpt-4o", so the loading-time fallback also honors Sol.

OpenRouter needs no code change: parseOpenRouterModel already mirrors the
static effort array for any openai/* id, so openai/gpt-5.6-* surfaces `max`
automatically and caching auto-detects from API pricing.

Bedrock deferred: GPT-5.6 is not GA on Bedrock and AWS has not published model
IDs. Long-context surcharge, flex/priority service tiers, and the new 1.25x
cache-write price are omitted pending confirmation against OpenAI's official
pricing page.

Tests: default-model assertion updated to gpt-5.6-sol; new getModel() and
`"effort":"max"` request-body passthrough tests (openai-native.spec.ts); new
openai/gpt-5.6-sol effort-mirror case (openrouter fetcher spec). check-types
passes and the pre-existing 22-failure reasoning/model-params baseline is
unchanged.
