fix: bypass Anthropic OAuth token blocking for tool names

Anthropic blocks specific lowercase tool names (bash, read, write, edit)
when using OAuth tokens. This fix:

1. Renames blocked tools to capitalized versions (Bash, Read, Write, Edit)
   in pi-tools.ts via renameBlockedToolsForOAuth()

2. Passes all tools as customTools in splitSdkTools() to bypass
   pi-coding-agent's built-in tool filtering, which expects lowercase names

The capitalized names work with both OAuth tokens and regular API keys.
