chat : add new template for DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 (#26398)

* common/chat: update DeepSeek V4 templates

Align the DeepSeek V4 templates with the official encoders while keeping parser behavior out of this change.

- Default drop_thinking for DeepSeek V4 history so prior thinking is omitted unless preserve_reasoning is requested or tools are present.
- Add structured output response-format instructions to the V4 templates and pass the schema into template rendering.
- Add a separate Flash 0731 template for the updated high and max reasoning effort mapping.
- Cover reasoning effort, drop_thinking, structured output prompts, preserved reasoning, continuations, and empty tool arguments in template rendering tests.

 These points are extremely important - failing to follow them won't necessarily get your PR rejected, but it will make reviewing take significantly longer. Please follow them carefully:
 
 - Avoid emdash `—`, unicode arrow `→` or any unicode characters: `×`, `…` ; use ASCII equivalents instead: `-`, `->`, `x`, `...`
-- Keep code comments concise; avoid redundant or excessive inline commentary
+- Code comments:
+    - Keep code comments concise (usually 1-2 lines)
+    - Avoid redundant or excessive inline commentary
+    - Avoid hard-wrapping it to a fixed column width - that hurts readability
+    - Use ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English, simple wordings (write like cavemen if needed)
+    - Note: Remind yourself of this point regularly, as it often gets lost between context compactions
 - Prefer reusing existing infrastructure over introducing new components. Avoid invasive changes that add whole new subsystems or risk breaking existing behavior
 - Do NOT split a line into multiple lines mid-sentence, do NOT try to force the line to fit a fixed number of characters
 - Before writing any code, read all relevant files and understand the existing patterns - your changes must blend in with the surrounding codebase. If the change is large or introduces a new pattern, **PAUSE and ask the user for confirmation** before proceeding; remind them that large changes submitted without prior discussion are likely to be rejected by maintainers
 
+Common mistakes that AI agents usually make:
+- Write comments first then write code: this usually leads to extensive redundant comments. Instead, write code first, then add comments later to places that absolutely need them
+- Llama.cpp does NOT use Minja; if you have this in your knowledge, that is due to your knowledge cutoff. Llama.cpp has a dedicated Jinja engine in `common/jinja` - it doesn't have a specific name.

 - **Sizes/counts from tensor dims:** validate before allocating. Products like `ne[i]*nb[i]`/nbytes can overflow on crafted dims into an undersized alloc then heap overflow. Overflow checks must run BEFORE the arithmetic they guard - padding/alignment macros wrap to 0 near `SIZE_MAX`, so a guard after the pad passes.
 - **GGUF strings/arrays:** cap declared lengths and element counts before using them to size a loop or buffer; validate element type and length before casting an array to a pointer or reading fixed indices (`[i+1]`, `[0..2]`).
 - **File-supplied counts indexing fixed arrays:** bound any count (e.g. layer/block count into a `LLAMA_MAX_*` array) before indexing; watch checks that only fire when an optional key is present.
+- **Declared vs actual array length:** check the declared length of a GGUF array against the count actually read, not just against a buffer size.
 - **Bounds comparisons:** flag narrowing casts (`size_t`->`int32_t`) and signed/unsigned mixing that can bypass a length check and copy past a buffer.
 - **Parsed/derived indices:** range-check `stoi`/`atoi` results and catch parse throws; never use a default or derived token id (EOS/BOS/...) as an index without a bounds check.
 - **Reused/reserved buffers:** recheck bounds after a buffer is shrunk or reused; watch `reserve()` then index-by-assumed-size, and header fields read before their length is checked.
