Adds bedrock_native.rs (Converse/InvokeModel with SigV4) and
generic_passthrough.rs catch-all for Translate mode. Adds comprehensive
provider reference docs (docs/providers/, docs/ENDPOINTS.md). Fixes
managed backend admin UI (BackendForm, ManagedBackendsSection) and
admin route/model handler issues. Adds automated model pricing update
workflow (scripts/update_pricing.py, .github/workflows/update-pricing.yml).

Notes

deepseek-reasoner (R1) produces a reasoning_content field in the response containing its chain-of-thought. The proxy maps this field bidirectionally to Anthropic thinking blocks — on the Anthropic Messages API path, the reasoning content surfaces as a thinking content block. Tool use is not available on deepseek-reasoner. The base URL used by this provider is https://api.deepseek.com (no /v1 suffix in the provider definition; the client appends the path).
