fix(cloak): align outgoing requests with real Claude Code 2.1.63 fingerprint

Captured and compared outgoing requests from CLIProxyAPI against real
Claude Code 2.1.63 and fixed all detectable differences:

Headers:
- Update anthropic-beta to match 2.1.63: replace fine-grained-tool-streaming
  and prompt-caching-2024-07-31 with context-management-2025-06-27 and
  prompt-caching-scope-2026-01-05
- Remove X-Stainless-Helper-Method header (real Claude Code does not send it)
- Update default User-Agent from "claude-cli/2.1.44 (external, sdk-cli)" to
  "claude-cli/2.1.63 (external, cli)"
- Force Claude Code User-Agent for non-Claude clients to avoid leaking
  real client identity (e.g. curl, OpenAI SDKs) during cloaking

Body:
- Inject x-anthropic-billing-header as system[0] (matches real format)
- Change system prompt identifier from "You are Claude Code..." to
  "You are a Claude agent, built on Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK."
- Add cache_control with ttl:"1h" to match real request format
- Fix user_id format: user_[64hex]_account_[uuid]_session_[uuid]
  (was missing account UUID)
- Disable tool name prefix (set claudeToolPrefix to empty string)

TLS:
- Switch utls fingerprint from HelloFirefox_Auto to HelloChrome_Auto
  (closer to Node.js/OpenSSL used by real Claude Code)
