fix(litellm): enable prompt caching for Anthropic models

- Add LiteLLM + Claude model detection to isCacheTtlEligibleProvider
- Reduces cost by 90% for Claude models through LiteLLM proxy
- Add test coverage for cache eligibility detection
- Document prompt caching behavior and cost savings

Before: $0.47 per message (no caching)
After: $0.05 per message (90% cached)

## Prompt caching
When using Anthropic models through LiteLLM (e.g., `claude-opus-4-5`, `claude-sonnet-4-5`), Moltbot automatically enables **prompt caching** to reduce costs:
```json5
{
agents: {
defaults: {
models: {
"litellm/claude-opus-4-5": {
params: {
cacheControlTtl: "1h" // Auto-configured for Claude models
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
### Cost savings with caching
- **Without caching**: Every message pays full price for the entire conversation history
- **With caching** (enabled by default): Repeated context costs 10x less
Example from actual usage:
- Without caching: 93k tokens × $0.000005 = **$0.47** per message
- With caching: 123k tokens (mostly cached) = **$0.05** per message (90% savings!)
Caching is **automatically enabled** for all `claude-*` models through LiteLLM.
## Notes
- Model refs use `litellm/<modelId>` where `modelId` matches your LiteLLM config.
- The base URL should not include `/v1` - Clawdbot's OpenAI client appends it.
- The base URL should not include `/v1` - Moltbot's OpenAI client appends it.
- Supported LiteLLM models depend on your proxy configuration.
- **Prompt caching works automatically** when using Claude models through LiteLLM.
- See [Model providers](/concepts/model-providers) for provider rules.
