revert: restore supportsUsageInStreaming=false default for non-native endpoints

Reverts #46500. Breaks Ollama, LM Studio, TGI, LocalAI, Mistral API -
these backends reject stream_options with 400/422.

This reverts commit bb06dc7cc9.

 - Slack/interactive replies: preserve `channelData.slack.blocks` through live DM delivery and preview-finalized edits so Block Kit button and select directives render instead of falling back to raw text. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - CI/channel test routing: move the built-in channel suites into `test:channels` and keep them out of `test:extensions`, so extension CI no longer fails after the channel migration while targeted test routing still sends Slack, Signal, and iMessage suites to the right lane. (#46066) Thanks @scoootscooob.
-- Agents/usage tracking: stop forcing `supportsUsageInStreaming: false` on non-native openai-completions endpoints so providers like DashScope, DeepSeek, and other OpenAI-compatible backends report token usage and cost instead of showing all zeros. (#46142)
 - Node/startup: remove leftover debug `console.log("node host PATH: ...")` that printed the resolved PATH on every `openclaw node run` invocation. (#46411)
 - Control UI/dashboard: preserve structured gateway shutdown reasons across restart disconnects so config-triggered restarts no longer fall back to `disconnected (1006): no reason`. (#46532) Thanks @vincentkoc.
 - Feishu/topic threads: fetch full thread context, including prior bot replies, when starting a topic-thread session so follow-up turns in Feishu topics keep the right conversation state. Thanks @Coobiw.
