Subject: [PATCH] chore: say which slim limits stop the server and which do not

The entry put refusing to start against all three limits. Only two behave that
way: the database check raises while the module is read, and the storage
provider is chosen by a call made as the module is read. The vector store is
built on first use, so pointing slim at anything but PostgreSQL for it fails
when something searches, not at startup. The sentence now separates them.

 - 🔗 **Default suggestions answer with an object.** Saving the default prompt suggestions now answers with the suggestions and their per-language wording together rather than the bare list it returned before, which anything calling it directly will need to read.

 - 🖼️ **Default picture without access.** A model picture now falls back to the standard logo wherever the viewer holds no grant on that model, such as a model reply shown to the other members of a channel, or the admin analytics and evaluation pages with the access bypass switched off.

 - 🪶 **Slim leaves the heavy work outside.** An instance built slim starts and holds a conversation with nothing extra configured, but the features that leaned on the local models it no longer carries, knowledge search, document extraction past plain text and speech, each ask for a service of their own the first time they are used, and it can no longer be built together with the graphics card or Ollama options.

 - 🧱 **Building the image needs BuildKit.** Building Open WebUI yourself now takes the BuildKit builder and reach to the registry the install tool is fetched from, next to the package index it already needed. [#29728](https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/29728)
 - 🧾 **Tools declare what they import.** A tool or function importing a package that was only ever present by accident, among them nltk, pymongo and the Google Drive client, now has to name it in its requirements, or have it installed into the image where the instance cannot reach the package index.
