docs(usage): add DashScope/Qwen section and prefix routing note

Document the qwen/ and qwen- prefix routing added in 3ac97e6. Users
in Discord #clawcode-get-help (web3g, Renan Klehm, matthewblott) kept
hitting ambient-credential misrouting because the docs only showed
the OPENAI_BASE_URL pattern without explaining that model-name prefix
wins over env-var presence.

Added:
- DashScope usage section with qwen/qwen-max and bare qwen-plus examples
- DashScope row in provider matrix table
- Reasoning model sanitization note (qwen-qwq, qwq-*, *-thinking)
- Explicit statement that model-name prefix wins over ambient creds

### Alibaba DashScope (Qwen)
For Qwen models via Alibaba's native DashScope API (higher rate limits than OpenRouter):
```bash
export DASHSCOPE_API_KEY="sk-..."
cd rust
./target/debug/claw --model "qwen/qwen-max" prompt "hello"
# or bare:
./target/debug/claw --model "qwen-plus" prompt "hello"
```
Model names starting with `qwen/` or `qwen-` are automatically routed to the DashScope compatible-mode endpoint (`https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`). You do **not** need to set `OPENAI_BASE_URL` or unset `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` — the model prefix wins over the ambient credential sniffer.
Reasoning variants (`qwen-qwq-*`, `qwq-*`, `*-thinking`) automatically strip `temperature`/`top_p`/`frequency_penalty`/`presence_penalty` before the request hits the wire (these params are rejected by reasoning models).
## Supported Providers & Models
`claw` has three built-in provider backends. The provider is selected automatically based on the model name, falling back to whichever credential is present in the environment.

The OpenAI-compatible backend also serves as the gateway for **OpenRouter**, **Ollama**, and any other service that speaks the OpenAI `/v1/chat/completions` wire format — just point `OPENAI_BASE_URL` at the service.
**Model-name prefix routing:** If a model name starts with `openai/`, `gpt-`, `qwen/`, or `qwen-`, the provider is selected by the prefix regardless of which env vars are set. This prevents accidental misrouting to Anthropic when multiple credentials exist in the environment.
