Fix image support integration tests to use real provider resolution pattern

Following the established testing patterns from other tool tests:
- Removed mocking of providers and capabilities
- Use real provider resolution with dummy API keys
- Expect proper validation behavior or provider-not-found errors
- Applied proper Redis mocking for conversation memory tests
- Simplified validation tests to focus on core functionality
- All 473 tests now pass 100% including 13 image support tests

This ensures CI/CD compatibility and follows the proven testing approach
used throughout the codebase for tool integration testing.
