Add structured output support for Anthropic provider

[vojto]

Hey, I tried to support structured output for Anthropic.

The only problem is that RubyLLM::Schema currently adds strict: true to each schema it creates. Here's a PR in that repo to fix that: danielfriis/ruby_llm-schema#28

Until that is merged, the workaround is to create this subclass of RubyLLM::Schema:

class AnthropicSchema < RubyLLM::Schema
  def to_json_schema
    result = super
    result[:schema].delete(:strict)
    result[:schema].delete("strict")
    result
  end
end

Do you plan to add or modify specs that hit the real API and produce new/updated VCR cassettes?

@tpaulshippy that should be done now.

I edited models.json manually, because I don't have all the API keys to run rake models:update. I'm assuming someone else will update it after merging the PR?

I modified models_to_test.rb a little - made a separate array for models that we wanna test for schema. I added haiku-4.5 and sonnet-4.5 to this list, and kept gpt-4.1-nano and gemini-2.5-flash that was already there.
