test(ai): refactor coverage to be defaults-agnostic post feat/ai merge

Self-setup providers in tests instead of relying on hardcoded openai/perplexity defaults. Multi-provider tests now use distinct URLs per provider; functional tests check for http/https URL presence rather than specific provider names. Drop ai_models_find tests (function removed upstream in feat/ai). Replace with reset-hook + persistence coverage: providers_reset_ac restart cycle, provider add/remove round-trip across init, model cache round-trip across init. Keep three autocomplete prefix-change tests red in-suite (documented as latent API-hygiene gap, unreachable from UI today). NULL-search test body retained but registration commented out — currently SIGSEGVs the cmocka runner. Add stub_xmpp connection_create_stanza_id to satisfy new cmd_funcs.c call site.
test(ai): autocomplete tests — 5 expected failures documenting real bugs
