charley-oai 6709ad8975 Label attached images so agent can understand in-message labels (#8950 )

Agent wouldn't "see" attached images and would instead try to use the
view_file tool:
<img width="1516" height="504" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/68a705bb-f962-4fc1-9087-e932a6859b12"
/>

In this PR, we wrap image content items in XML tags with the name of
each image (now just a numbered name like `[Image #1]`), so that the
model can understand inline image references (based on name). We also
put the image content items above the user message which the model seems
to prefer (maybe it's more used to definitions being before references).

We also tweak the view_file tool description which seemed to help a bit

Results on a simple eval set of images:

Before
<img width="980" height="310" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ba838651-2565-4684-a12e-81a36641bf86"
/>

After
<img width="918" height="322" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/10a81951-7ee6-415e-a27e-e7a3fd0aee6f"
/>
