Unify provider/model config for Tier 1 and Tier 2 agents

- Add provider and model fields to both GroupAgentConfig and ProjectConfig
- Wire model override through AgentSession → AgentPane → queryAgent → sidecar
- Add model preset dropdown per provider (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku, GPT-5.4/o3, etc.)
  with custom model ID input at the bottom
- Add provider dropdown to Tier 1 agents (was Tier 2 only)
- Add "Apply & Restart" button on both tiers to restart agent with new settings
- Changing provider auto-resets model selection
- Admin bypasses stale heartbeat check in btmsg so DMs always deliver
