assistant: Make scripting a first-class concept instead of a tool (#26338)
This PR makes refactors the scripting functionality to be a first-class
concept of the assistant instead of a generic tool, which will allow us
to build a more customized experience.
- The tool prompt has been slightly tweaked and is now included as a
system message in all conversations. I'm getting decent results, but now
that it isn't in the tools framework, it will probably require more
refining.
- The model will now include an `` tag at the end of the
message with the script. We parse this tag incrementally as it streams
in so that we can indicate that we are generating a script before we see
the closing `` tag. Later, this will help us interpret the script
as it arrives also.
- Threads now hold a `ScriptSession` entity which manages the state of
all scripts (from parsing to exited) in a centralized way, and will
later collect all script operations so they can be displayed in the UI.
- `script_tool` has been renamed to `assistant_scripting`
- Script source now opens in a regular read-only buffer
Note: We still need to handle persistence properly
Release Notes:
- N/A
