fix: normalize tool_call_id whitespace in sanitizer

_sanitize_api_messages() compared raw tool_call_id strings without
stripping whitespace. When assistant-side IDs and tool-result IDs
diverged due to surrounding whitespace, valid tool results were treated
as orphaned and replaced with [Result unavailable] stub placeholders.

Strip whitespace in _get_tool_call_id_static() (both call_id/id paths,
dict and object) and at the two result_call_id comparison sites in
sanitize_api_messages(). Adds regression tests for preserved-whitespace
results and orphaned-whitespace removal.

Closes #9999
