fix(pricing): drop the unpublished cached rate from the Gemini Live preview entries (#42651)

* fix(pricing): correct cached-token fields on realtime cost-map entries

azure/gpt-realtime-2 was the only member of the gpt-realtime-2 family priced
on one side of its cached-audio meter. Azure publishes that meter as
"gpt-realtime-2 Audio cd inp Gl 1M Tokens" at 0.4 per 1M and charges the
same rate for the write that populates the cache and the read that hits it,
so cache_creation_input_audio_token_cost lands at 4e-07, matching
azure/gpt-realtime-2.1, azure/gpt-realtime-2.1-mini and the openai
gpt-realtime-2 entry. No cost path reads that field yet, so this corrects
what get_model_info reports rather than what anything bills.

The gemini Live entries go the other way. Google's Vertex context-caching
page publishes separate supported-model lists for implicit and explicit
caching, and no Live or native-audio model is in either one. Its pricing
page prints N/A in both cached-input columns for every Gemini 2.5 Flash
Live API row, where plain 2.5 Flash and 2.5 Flash-Lite both carry real
cached prices, and the Vertex model card for the family marks context
caching not supported outright. Vertex never reports cachedContentTokenCount
on a Live session either, including for a byte-identical 7,021-token prefix
replayed across sessions minutes apart, which is well past the 2,048-token
minimum the same page sets for the Gemini 2 family.

So the 7.5e-08 on the two preview siblings priced something the provider does
not sell, and supports_prompt_caching on all three claimed a capability the
model does not have. The rate comes out. The flag is set to false rather than
removed, because get_model_info maps an absent key to None, and None is how
this map spells "nobody checked" across the 2,788 entries that omit it, where
false records the vendor's documented no. Both readers of the flag gate on
`is True`, so nothing bills or behaves differently either way.

Only the cached fields change on the two 09-2025 preview entries. Their
source field points at the Gemini API pricing page rather than the Vertex
one, so they describe a different surface with its own published limits, and
their context windows are left alone rather than assumed to match the Vertex
model card that drives the GA entry.

Tests cover all three halves: the family invariant that a cached audio read
implies an equal cached audio write, a cached count on a Live entry leaving
the bill at the fresh-input total instead of adding the old 7.5e-08, and
supports_prompt_caching answering false for all three entries while still
answering true for 2.5 Flash, so the false cannot be a swallowed lookup
error.

* fix(cost): correct gemini-live-2.5-flash-native-audio limits and capabilities

Google's model card for model ID gemini-live-2.5-flash-native-audio gives a
128K context window and 64K maximum output tokens, and marks structured
output, context caching and URL context as not supported. Its modality list
is text in and out, image in, audio in and out, and video in, with no
document input of any kind.

The entry advertised a 1M context window, an off-by-one 65535 output cap, and
three capability flags the vendor marks unsupported. Context caching is the
fourth and is handled in the cached-fields change alongside its two preview
siblings.

Both the bare id and vertex_ai/gemini-live-2.5-flash-native-audio resolve to
this single entry, so the test drives the corrected values through both.

* test(integration): cover live preview cached tokens billed at the fresh rate
