Have read_file support images (#30435)

This is very basic support for them. There are a number of other TODOs
before this is really a first-class supported feature, so not adding any
release notes for it; for now, this PR just makes it so that if
read_file tries to read a PNG (which has come up in practice), it at
least correctly sends it to Anthropic instead of messing up.

This also lays the groundwork for future PRs for more first-class
support for images in tool calls across more image file formats and LLM
providers.

Release Notes:

- N/A
