fix: preserve system prompt across tool calls when memories are enabled (#26857)
* fix: preserve system prompt across tool calls when memories are enabled

The native tool-call loop runs generate_chat_completion with
bypass_system_prompt=True, so the provider layer does not re-apply the
model's default system prompt on tool-call iterations. It relies instead
on metadata['system_prompt'], captured in process_chat_payload, to carry
the full system prompt forward and restore it after RAG injection.

That capture read the model default system prompt from
form_data['params']['system'], but apply_params_to_form_data had already
popped 'params' from form_data, so model_system_prompt was always empty.
metadata['system_prompt'] therefore only captured whatever was already
materialized in the messages. With memories enabled, that is the injected
<memory_context> system message, so tool-call requests were restored with
memory-only system content and the model's system prompt was dropped.
Without memories there was no system message to capture at all.

Capture the model default system prompt from form_data['params'] before
apply_params_to_form_data pops it, and use that value when building
metadata['system_prompt'].

* refactor: condense system prompt capture comment to a single line

Replace the four-line explanation above the model_system_prompt capture with a one-line note. The variable name and the surrounding code already convey what happens; the comment only needs to state why the capture sits before apply_params_to_form_data.
