refactor: remove legacy XML tool calling code (getToolDescription) (#10929)

- Remove getToolDescription() method from MultiSearchReplaceDiffStrategy
- Remove getToolDescription() from DiffStrategy interface
- Remove unused ToolDescription type from shared/tools.ts
- Remove unused eslint-disable directive
- Update test mocks to remove getToolDescription references
- Remove getToolDescription tests from multi-search-replace.spec.ts

Native tools are now defined in src/core/prompts/tools/native-tools/ using
the OpenAI function format. The removed code was dead since XML-style tool
calling was replaced with native tool calling.

-Description: Request to apply PRECISE, TARGETED modifications to an existing file by searching for specific sections of content and replacing them. This tool is for SURGICAL EDITS ONLY - specific changes to existing code.
-You can perform multiple distinct search and replace operations within a single \`apply_diff\` call by providing multiple SEARCH/REPLACE blocks in the \`diff\` parameter. This is the preferred way to make several targeted changes efficiently.
-The SEARCH section must exactly match existing content including whitespace and indentation.
-If you're not confident in the exact content to search for, use the read_file tool first to get the exact content.
-When applying the diffs, be extra careful to remember to change any closing brackets or other syntax that may be affected by the diff farther down in the file.
-ALWAYS make as many changes in a single 'apply_diff' request as possible using multiple SEARCH/REPLACE blocks
-
-Parameters:
-- path: (required) The path of the file to modify (relative to the current workspace directory ${args.cwd})
-- diff: (required) The search/replace block defining the changes.
-
-Diff format:
-\`\`\`
-<<<<<<< SEARCH
-:start_line: (required) The line number of original content where the search block starts.
--------
-[exact content to find including whitespace]
-=======
-[new content to replace with]
->>>>>>> REPLACE
-
-\`\`\`
-
-Example:
-
-Original file:
-\`\`\`
-1 | def calculate_total(items):
-2 |     total = 0
-3 |     for item in items:
-4 |         total += item
-5 |     return total
-\`\`\`
-
-Search/Replace content:
-\`\`\`
-<<<<<<< SEARCH
-:start_line:1
--------
-def calculate_total(items):
-    total = 0
-    for item in items:
-        total += item
-    return total
-=======
-def calculate_total(items):
-    """Calculate total with 10% markup"""
-    return sum(item * 1.1 for item in items)
->>>>>>> REPLACE
-
-\`\`\`
-
-Search/Replace content with multiple edits:
-\`\`\`
-<<<<<<< SEARCH
-:start_line:1
--------
-def calculate_total(items):
-    sum = 0
-=======
-def calculate_sum(items):
-    sum = 0
->>>>>>> REPLACE
-
-<<<<<<< SEARCH
-:start_line:4
--------
-        total += item
-    return total
-=======
-        sum += item
-    return sum 
->>>>>>> REPLACE
-\`\`\`
-
-Usage:
-<apply_diff>
-<path>File path here</path>
-<diff>
-Your search/replace content here
-You can use multi search/replace block in one diff block, but make sure to include the line numbers for each block.
-Only use a single line of '=======' between search and replacement content, because multiple '=======' will corrupt the file.
