feat(ollama): configurable per-model keep_alive durations

Replace the hardcoded "2h" keep_alive everywhere with a helper that
returns OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE_MAIN (default 30m) for the interactive model
and OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE_BACKGROUND (default 10m) for the background
model. Lets the main model release VRAM during long idle periods
while keeping it warm enough for bursty chat use, and stops the
sporadic background model from camping VRAM it rarely needs.

Seven call sites updated to route through llm.keep_alive_for(model):
the streaming helpers, generate_completion, the two startup warmers,
the settings KV-cache primer, and the chat warmer endpoint.

Override via env vars: OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE_MAIN, OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE_BACKGROUND.
