Subject: [PATCH] feat: make model selection optional when creating virtual
 keys

- Remove required validation for models field in create_key_button.tsx
- Update help text to clarify models are optional
- If no models selected, key will have access to all models
- This allows users to create keys for MCP-only access without selecting LLM models
- Fixes LIT-1791: Cannot create virtual key without LLM provider if user only has MCP access

Backend already supports empty models list (defaults to all models).
This change only updates the UI source to match backend behavior.
