fix(config): move built-in model defaults to Opus 5.5 and GPT-6 - #622

Conversation
The built-in tier defaults were one to two releases behind. Claude CLI's large tier now uses claude-opus-5-5, which is cheaper than Opus 5. Codex CLI and the OpenAI API move from gpt-5.4-mini / gpt-5.4 / gpt-5.5 to gpt-6-luna / gpt-6-sol / gpt-6-sol, which cost less and avoid depending on GPT-5.5 staying available in Codex. Price claude-opus-5-5 at Anthropic's list rates, including its reduced 0.05x cache-read rate and fast-mode rates, so its cost is estimated instead of unavailable when an adapter reports none. Add Opus 5.5 and the GPT-6 models to the fast-mode lists; both providers list fast-mode pricing for them.

Summary
Moves the built-in model tier defaults to the current models and prices Claude Opus 5.5.
claude-haiku-4-5claude-sonnet-5claude-opus-5→claude-opus-5-5gpt-5.4-mini→gpt-6-lunagpt-5.4→gpt-6-solgpt-5.5→gpt-6-solclaude-opus-5-5standard ($4 in / $20 out, $0.20 cache read, $5 / $8 cache writes) and fast ($8 / $40) rates from Anthropic's pricing page. Opus 5.5 reads cache at 0.05x input instead of 0.1x.claude-opus-5-5to the Claude CLI and Anthropic API lists, andgpt-6-astra,gpt-6-sol,gpt-6-lunato the Codex CLI list. Both providers list fast-mode pricing for these models.model_mapoverride is unaffected. Everyone else on these runtimes gets the new models on their next run.Not in this PR: cost estimates for Codex and OpenAI API runs, which need adapter changes (#621).
Not done yet: a benchmark run comparing the old and new defaults.
