fix(mistral): a named tool_choice is dropped, the model picks any tool (#39737)

* fix(mistral): a named tool_choice is dropped, the model picks any tool

Mistral's chat API takes tool_choice as an enum or as an object naming
one function, {"type": "function", "function": {"name": ...}}. The
mapper only handled strings, so the object was skipped and the request
reached Mistral with no tool_choice at all.

The pin is now rebuilt from the function name alone, since Mistral
rejects fields it does not define. Enum mapping is unchanged, and an
object without a usable name is still left out.

Fixes #39736

* fix(mistral): reject a tool_choice Mistral cannot take unless drop_params is set

* fix(mistral): warn when drop_params drops an unusable tool_choice

Return the unsupported tool_choice error as a value and raise it in
map_openai_params, so the helper models the failure and the caller owns
the exception. A tool_choice dropped under drop_params now logs a
warning naming the value and why Mistral cannot take it.

* fix(mistral): leave tool_choice to the no-tools removal when no tools are sent

An unusable tool_choice on a request with no tools answered 400, while the
merge base and every other OpenAI-compatible route strip tool_choice from
such a request and answer 200. Map tool_choice only when tools are present.
