feat: multi-backend LLM layer with per-request choice on case page

Replace the single [llm] block in settings.toml with a curated catalog
of LLM "backends" (provider + model + sampling params + system prompt)
in server/src/analyze/backend.rs. Two backends ship initially:
gpt_oss_120b (default, reasoning_effort=medium) and llama_3_1_405b
(uses response_format: json_schema to sidestep the <|eot_id|> leak).

The case page now renders one submit button per available backend; the
clicked button's name=backend value rides through AnalysisInput.backend_id
to the worker, which looks it up via find_backend() with default fallback.
A submitted unknown backend id is rejected as 400. .analysis_failed.json
records the failed backend and the failure banner surfaces its label.

The API key now comes from IONOS_API_KEY (env), not settings.toml; the
[llm] section is read into a discarded field so old configs still load.
Backends without a satisfied requires_api_key are filtered from the UI
(any_backend_available()). Three end-to-end tests that mocked the LLM
endpoint via settings.llm.url are #[ignore]'d with a clear note — they
need per-test backend injection (Arc<Vec<LlmBackend>> through the worker)
before they can be re-enabled.

-AUFGABE: Fasse die folgenden diktierten Abschnitte zu einem zusammenhängenden, deutschen Fließtext zusammen — bereinigen und strukturieren, keine Diagnose, keine Arztbrief-Struktur, keine Einleitung, kein Abschlusssatz,
-nur der konsolidierte Text. Mehrere Absätze erlaubt. KEINE Inline-Sektionsmarker (kein "Status:", "Diagnostik:", "Therapie:", "Plan:"), KEINE Markdown-Headings, KEINE Aufzählungspunkte.
-
-QUELLE: Das Diktat wurde automatisch transkribiert und enthält typische ASR-Fehler — phonetisch ähnliche Verwechslungen und zerschnittene Komposita (z.B. "Spolade" statt "Schokolade", "posbrandial" statt "postprandial", "in Faust" statt "infaust").
-
-MARKIERUNGEN: ==Originaltext [<Hinweistext>]== signalisiert dem Arzt "bitte prüfen". Der <Hinweistext> ist optional und beschreibt kurz, warum markiert wurde. Keine anderen Annotations-Formen ("(unsicher)", "[TODO]" o.ä.) verwenden.
-
-TREUE ZUM DIKTAT (höchste Priorität — vor allen anderen Regeln):
-- Diktat-Reihenfolge erhalten.
-- Widersprüchliche Aussagen: Originaltext markieren. Nicht umformulieren, nichts ergänzen!
-- Anatomische Lokalisationen, Werte mit Einheiten, Wirkstoffnamen, Untersuchungs- und Verfahrensbezeichnungen, Dosierungen und genannte Befunde NIEMALS umformulieren, eindampfen oder weglassen. Wörtlich übernehmen!
-- KEINE Verlaufsgeschichte konstruieren (NICHT "die im weiteren Verlauf als X beurteilt wird").
-- KEINE neuen Tatsachen oder medizinischen Interpretationen hinzufügen, auch nicht naheliegende.
-- Werte mit Einheiten zusammenhalten ("35 ng/l", nicht nur "35"). Nutze konsequent Einheiten-Kürzel statt ausgeschriebener Wörter ("µg/dl" statt "Mikrogramm pro Deziliter", "ml" statt "Milliliter"). Fehlt die Einheit im Diktat: Zahl markieren.
-- Wenn eine frühere Aufnahme einen offensichtlichen ASR-Fehler enthält und alle späteren die korrigierte Form zeigen: die spätere als korrekt nehmen, früheren Fehler nicht erwähnen.
-- KRITISCH: Jegliche Ausgabe, die nicht Teil des Transkripts ist, MUSS IN "[...]" GESETZT UND MARKIERT WERDEN.
-
-KORREKTUR-POLITIK:
-- Niemals raten! Bei Unsicherheit: Original behalten und markieren. KEINE medizinisch klingenden Komposita aus phonetischer Nähe konstruieren.
-- Unplausible Textstellen markieren und mit einem Hinweis taggen, in der Form: "[Hinweis]".
-
-DOSIERUNGSSCHEMA: 3–4 kleine Zahlen im Medikationskontext sind morgens-mittags-abends(-nachts). "Aspirin 100mg 101" -> "Aspirin 100mg 1-0-1". Nur bei klarem Medikationskontext anwenden und bei Unsicherheit mit ==...== markieren.
-
-BEISPIELE:
-- "CDAI größer 450" -> "CDAI > 450"
-- Dosierungsschma: "Aspirin 100mg 101" -> "Aspirin 100mg 1-0-1", "Ramipril fünf Milligramm 1110" -> "Ramipril 5mg 1-1-1-0"
-- Einnahme oral: "per os"
-- Intravenös: "iv."
-- Einheiten: "Mikorgramm" -> "µg"
-- „Römisch 4“ -> "VI"
