Subject: [PATCH] feat: support --effort flag via provider option and model
 suffix

Adds an `effort` provider option ("low" | "medium" | "high" | "xhigh" |
"max") that forwards to `claude --effort <level>`. Also supports a
per-model override using a `modelId:effort` suffix (e.g. `opus:high`),
which lets a single provider expose multiple effort tiers without
duplicating provider entries.

Usage:

  "provider": {
    "claude-code": {
      "npm": "opencode-claude-code-plugin",
      "models": {
        "opus": { ... },
        "opus:max": { ... }
      },
      "options": { "cliPath": "claude", "effort": "high" }
    }
  }

If the model ID contains a valid effort suffix, it overrides the
provider-level default and is stripped before being passed to `--model`.
