feat(imagegen): optional per-request generation settings

Add Steps, CFGScale, NegativePrompt, Sampler, Seed to imagegen.Request
(pointer/empty = leave the backend's per-model default), with mirror
options, and forward them in the llamaswap wire payload as the
stable-diffusion.cpp fields (steps/cfg_scale/negative_prompt/
sample_method/seed). Unset fields are omitted so sd-server keeps its
baked defaults.

Lets callers (e.g. mort drawbots) override only what they explicitly set.

+## Update — optional per-request settings
+
+`Request` gained additive optional overrides — `Steps *int`, `CFGScale *float64`,
+`NegativePrompt string`, `Sampler string`, `Seed *int64` — with mirror options
+(`WithSteps`, …). nil/"" means "leave the backend's per-model default", so the v1
+contract is unchanged for callers that don't set them. `provider/llamaswap`
+forwards them to sd-server as `steps`/`cfg_scale`/`negative_prompt`/`sample_method`/
+`seed` (omitempty). This realizes the "seeds/steps … additive fields" note above;
+img2img/masks/streaming remain deferred.
