feat: add image generation compatibility warnings for unsupported models

## CHANGES

- Add warning to stderr when using incompatible models with image generation
- Add GPT-5, GPT-5-nano, and GPT-5.2 to supported image generation models
- Create `checkImageGenerationCompatibility` function in OpenAI plugin
- Add comprehensive tests for image generation compatibility warnings
- Add integration test scenarios for CLI image generation workflows
- Suggest gpt-4o as alternative in incompatibility warning messages
