perf: eliminate unnecessary heap allocations across agent loop, memory, and channels

- Replace clone()+clear() with std::mem::take() in chunker (items 1, 6)
- Add Vec::with_capacity() hints in chunker split functions (item 2)
- Replace collect::<Vec<_>>().join() with direct iteration in IRC and
  email channels (item 3)
- Share heading strings via Rc<str> instead of cloning per chunk (item 5)
- Use borrowed references in provider tool spec types to avoid cloning
  name/description/parameters per tool per request (item 7)

Closes #712
