* fix: enforce features.direct_tool_servers on chat-completion tool_servers

The features.direct_tool_servers per-user permission was correctly
enforced on the storage path (routers/users.py user/settings/update,
which strips toolServers from saved settings when the caller lacks the
permission), but the inference path (/api/chat/completions) popped
tool_servers straight from the request body into metadata with no
permission check. The middleware (utils/middleware.py:2799) then
consumed direct_tool_servers to inject system_prompt into the message
array and register external tool specs that get invoked during the
completion. End result: any authenticated user could bypass the
admin-set per-user feature toggle and use inline tool_servers in their
chat-completion requests, even when admin had explicitly denied the
permission.

Default for USER_PERMISSIONS_FEATURES_DIRECT_TOOL_SERVERS is False
(config.py:2750), so under default config no regular user is supposed
to be able to use direct tool servers — making this a real boundary
bypass on out-of-the-box deployments rather than a corner case.

Mirror the storage-side behaviour at the inference entry point: pop
tool_servers from the request body, then silently drop the value if
the caller is non-admin and lacks features.direct_tool_servers. Admins
always pass; users with the explicit grant always pass; everyone else
gets None propagated into metadata, which the middleware already
handles as the no-tool-servers case.
