Add proxy support for providers based on
[doc](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/proxies/):
- Add per-provider proxy support (HTTP and SOCKS5) for all 4 providers:
nvidia_nim, open_router, lmstudio, llamacpp
- Each provider gets its own env var (NVIDIA_NIM_PROXY,
OPENROUTER_PROXY, LMSTUDIO_PROXY, LLAMACPP_PROXY) for independent proxy
configuration

## Summary
* add native DeepSeek provider support via the shared OpenAI-compatible
provider base
* allow `deepseek/...` model prefixes in config validation
* add `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` and `DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL` settings
* add DeepSeek entries to `.env.example` and `config/env.example`
* implement `DeepSeekProvider` and register it in provider dependencies
* add a DeepSeek request builder with DeepSeek-specific thinking payload
handling
* preserve Anthropic thinking blocks as `reasoning_content` for
DeepSeek-compatible continuation flows
* update `claude-pick` to discover DeepSeek models from the DeepSeek API
* document DeepSeek usage in `README.md`
* add tests for config validation, provider dependency wiring, request
building, and streaming behavior
## Motivation
DeepSeek exposes an OpenAI-compatible API and can be used directly
without routing through OpenRouter. This lets users spend their existing
DeepSeek balance through the proxy while keeping the same Claude Code
workflow and per-model provider mapping.
## Example
```dotenv
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="sk-..."
DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL="https://api.deepseek.com"
MODEL_OPUS="deepseek/deepseek-reasoner"
MODEL_SONNET="deepseek/deepseek-chat"
MODEL_HAIKU="deepseek/deepseek-chat"
MODEL="deepseek/deepseek-chat"

Mistral models reject chat_template_kwargs, causing 400 errors. Make
thinking params (chat_template_kwargs, reasoning_budget) opt-in via
NIM_ENABLE_THINKING env var (default false) so only models that need it
(kimi, nemotron) receive them.
Replace dropped params (thinking, reasoning_split, include_reasoning,
return_tokens_as_token_ids, reasoning_effort) with the new API format:
chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking=True and reasoning_budget=max_tokens.
- Rewrites LMStudioProvider to inherit from BaseProvider
- Passes requests natively to /v1/messages using httpx instead of AsyncOpenAI
- Auto-translates internal ThinkingConfig to Anthropic schema
- Updates .env.example with model routing instructions
- Adjusts test suite for new native integration
