fix(gateway): add chat touchpoint to zhipu recipe so GLM subagents work (#1157) (#3084)

The zhipu recipe was embedding-only, so models.tier.subagent=zhipu:glm-5.1
threw "does not offer a chat touchpoint" — while the error hint falsely
listed zhipu (and dashscope/minimax, also embedding-only) among providers
with chat.

- zhipu recipe: add a chat touchpoint (glm-5.1 family, supports_tools +
  supports_subagent_loop; no Anthropic-style prompt cache on the
  OpenAI-compat path, so the loop runs with the degraded:no_caching warn).
  openai-compat tier means newer GLM ids pass without a recipe edit.
- capabilities.ts: compute the "Known providers with chat" hint from the
  recipe registry instead of a hardcoded list, so it can never drift into
  naming chat-less providers again.
- Declines the originally requested models.anthropic_compatible_prefixes
  config: v0.38's recipe-driven capability gate already replaced the
  Anthropic-only enforcement, so a recipe chat touchpoint is the whole fix.

Fixes #1157
