fix: token accounting fallback + reasoning-aware compression

Fix 1 — Token estimation fallback (closes #12023):
When providers like MiniMax via OpenRouter silently ignore
stream_options.include_usage, response.usage is None and the token
accounting block is skipped entirely.  Added an else branch that falls
back to estimate_messages_tokens_rough() / estimate_tokens_rough() so
sessions don't permanently record 0/0 tokens.

Fix 2 — Subtract reasoning tokens from compression trigger (closes #12026):
The compression trigger fed raw completion_tokens (including internal
reasoning tokens) to the context compressor.  For thinking models
(GLM-5.1, QwQ, DeepSeek-R1), completion_tokens includes reasoning
that is NOT re-sent on subsequent turns and doesn't consume context
window space.  Now subtracts canonical_usage.reasoning_tokens (from
completion_tokens_details.reasoning_tokens) before feeding the
compressor, so only content tokens count toward the threshold.

This addresses Teknium's review feedback on #12028: rather than
dropping all completion_tokens (which would be wrong when reasoning IS
re-sent), we use the API-provided reasoning_tokens breakdown to
subtract only the phantom tokens.  Non-thinking models (reasoning_tokens=0)
see zero behavior change.

Production evidence: 6 consecutive GLM-5.1 sessions ended with
premature compression (TD Promo #2-#6, April 17 2026).  Only 3-15% of
assistant messages had reasoning captured; total stored reasoning was
~150-2500 tokens per session — yet completion_tokens included 15-20K
of hidden reasoning that inflated the trigger past the 101K threshold.

Research: OpenCode has the identical bug (tui.go:335-341, completion +
prompt without reasoning subtraction).  The OpenAI/OpenRouter APIs
provide completion_tokens_details.reasoning_tokens for exactly this
purpose; Hermes already extracts it via normalize_usage() but never
used it in compression.

Tests: 6 new regression tests covering reasoning subtraction, premature
compression prevention, threshold still firing when truly full, zero
reasoning passthrough, and fallback estimation.
