What does this PR do?

The Gemini thinking toggle was busted. In transform.ts, the options() function always sent thinkingConfig: { includeThoughts: true } for Google/Vertex models - hardcoded, regardless of toggle state.

So turning thinking OFF did nothing. The API always got includeThoughts: true.

Fix: deleted the unconditional default. Now thinking config only gets set when you pick a variant (i.e., toggle it on). Same issue existed for Gemini 3 on OpenRouter with reasoning.effort: "high" - removed that too.

How did you verify your code works?

options() returns base provider options
variants() returns thinking configs for each effort level
When toggle is ON → variant merges in → thinking enabled
When toggle is OFF → no variant → now nothing sets thinking (before: options() still did)

The thinking toggle for Google/Gemini models was broken because
`options()` unconditionally set `thinkingConfig.includeThoughts: true`
regardless of whether the user enabled thinking.

This meant:
- Toggle OFF → thinking still enabled
- Toggle ON → thinking enabled

The thinking configuration should only come from the variant system
when the user explicitly enables it via the toggle.

Also removed the unconditional `reasoning.effort: "high"` default
for Gemini 3 on OpenRouter for the same reason.
