Add persistent model selection with localStorage

## Features
- **Sticky model selection**: Chosen model persists across browser sessions
- **Automatic restoration**: Saved model is restored when loading models
- **Validation**: Invalid saved models are automatically cleared
- **Provider switching**: Model selection is reset when switching providers

## Implementation Details
- Model ID saved to localStorage on selection
- Model restored during loadModels() if still available
- Saved selection cleared when:
  - Switching inference providers
  - Logging out
  - Model no longer exists in available models

## User Experience
- Users no longer need to reselect their preferred model after refresh
- Model selector maintains state across page reloads
- Graceful handling when saved model becomes unavailable

## Technical Notes
- Uses 'selected_model_id' localStorage key
- Integrates with existing InferenceContext state management
- Maintains backward compatibility with existing provider logic
