chat : pass reasoning_effort to template

* chat: add reasoning_effort to common_chat_templates_inputs

Store OpenAI Chat Completions reasoning_effort and make it
available to jinja templates (with model specific translations
where required).

Assisted-by: llama.cpp:Muse-Glimmer-30B

* server : fixup reading reasoning effort from body

server_chat_convert_responses_to_chatcmpl already handles conversion of
Responses API reasoning.effort to reasoning_effort

* chat : expose reasoning effort

* chat : add reasoning_effort to generation_params
