.Net: Fill PR #5604 test coverage gaps for Shell tools

Addresses the test-coverage findings in the latest Copilot review. * ShellResultTests (new): direct branch coverage for ShellResult.FormatForModel() — empty stdout, non-empty stderr, truncated, timed-out, success, and the truncated-with-empty-stdout edge where the marker is intentionally suppressed. This method's string is what the language model sees, so it benefits from explicit unit-level coverage independent of integration tests. * ShellSessionTests (new): direct unit tests for the internal TruncateHeadTail head-tail truncation utility — under-cap (no truncation), exactly at cap (no truncation), over-cap (truncated with marker, both head and tail preserved), and empty-string. Reachable via InternalsVisibleTo. * LocalShellToolTests: Theory test exercising 8 representative patterns from ShellPolicy.DefaultDenyList (rm -rf /, mkfs.ext4, curl|sh, wget|sh, Remove-Item /, shutdown, reboot, Format-Volume) to catch deny-list regex regressions; previously only 1/16 was tested. * LocalShellToolTests: explicit stderr-capture assertion (echo to stderr → result.Stderr contains the message). Stderr capture was not directly asserted anywhere in the suite. * DockerShellToolTests: RunAsync_RejectedCommand throws ShellCommandRejectedException. The Docker-side policy check is a pure-logic path that runs before any docker invocation, so this test covers the rejection branch without needing a Docker daemon. Total: 66 -> 85 tests, all passing on net10.0. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
