feat: persist last-used model in LocalStorage instead of preference

Drop the summaryModel preference (and the awkward textfield holding a
raw model ID nobody could discover without poking the SDK types). Each
AI view now controls its model dropdown, loads the shared
velum.ai.last-model on mount, and writes it back on submit — so picking
Claude 4.7 Opus in the summarize command becomes the prefilled default
in briefing, action-items, structured-data, and reply next time around.

Also drops 'model' from ReplyDefaults; the shared key supersedes it.

-- `Standard-Modell für AI-Befehle` — Modell-ID, die in den AI-Views vorausgewählt ist (Default `anthropic-claude-sonnet-4-6`, benötigt Raycast Pro). Die View-Dropdowns listen aktuelle Modelle aus `src/ai.ts`; neue Modelle dort eintragen, wenn Raycast sie ausrollt.

+Das KI-Modell ist keine Preference: jeder AI-Befehl zeigt ein `KI-Modell`-Dropdown mit dem aktuellen Modell-Katalog aus `src/ai.ts`. Die Auswahl wird in `LocalStorage` (`velum.ai.last-model`) persistiert und ist beim nächsten Aufruf in jedem AI-Befehl vorausgewählt.
 - `Maximale Anzahl gespeicherter Sitzungen` — älteste werden geprunt (Default 20)
