fix: move array-specific properties into anyOf variant in normalizeToolSchema (#10276)

* fix: move array-specific properties into anyOf variant in normalizeToolSchema

Fixes read_file tool schema rejection with GPT-5-mini which requires
items property to be inside the { type: 'array' } variant when using
anyOf for nullable arrays.

Resolves ROO-262

* refactor: extract array-specific properties constant and helper function
