assistant: Edit files tool (#26506)

Exposes a new "edit files" tool that the model can use to apply
modifications to files in the project. The main model provides
instructions and the tool uses a separate "editor" model (Claude 3.5 by
default) to generate search/replace blocks like Aider does:

````markdown
mathweb/flask/app.py
```python
<<<<<<< SEARCH
from flask import Flask
=======
import math
from flask import Flask
>>>>>>> REPLACE
```
````

The search/replace blocks are parsed and applied as they stream in. If a
block fails to parse, the tool will apply the other edits and report an
error pointing to the part of the input where it occurred. This should
allow the model to fix it.
