fix(vertex_ai): default missing items on array schemas

Vertex rejects array schemas without an items field
(GenerateContentRequest.tools[*].function_declarations[*].parameters...items: missing field).
This happened for tool params containing anyOf branches like {"type": "array"}
with no items, including the case where convert_anyof_null_to_nullable
strips an empty items entry. Default missing items to {"type": "object"}
in process_items so the same default applies to bare arrays and
arrays nested inside anyOf.
