kshitijk4poor d403cf018c feat(web): brave_free plugin (first migration from tools/web_providers/)
Adds plugins/web/brave_free/ as the first plugin built against the new
WebSearchProvider ABC. Mirrors the plugins/image_gen/openai/ layout exactly:

  plugins/web/brave_free/
    plugin.yaml      kind: backend, provides_web_providers: [brave-free]
    __init__.py      register(ctx) -> ctx.register_web_search_provider(...)
    provider.py      BraveFreeWebSearchProvider(WebSearchProvider)

Behavior preserved: same name ("brave-free" with hyphen), same env var
(BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY), same HTTP request shape, same response normalization.

The legacy tools/web_providers/brave_free.py is left in place — the
dispatcher in tools/web_tools.py still references it. Task 7 cuts over the
dispatcher to the new registry; Task 10 deletes the legacy file.

"""Brave Search (free tier) — plugin form.
Subclasses :class:`agent.web_search_provider.WebSearchProvider` (the
plugin-facing ABC) and reuses the existing Brave search logic from the
legacy ``tools.web_providers.brave_free`` module. Once the spike validates
the pattern, the legacy module is deleted and this becomes the canonical
implementation.
Config keys this provider responds to::
web:
search_backend: "brave-free" # explicit per-capability
backend: "brave-free" # shared fallback
Auth env var::
BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY=... # https://brave.com/search/api/ (free tier)
