Don't send contents of large @mention-ed files (#38032)

This is for both ACP and the regular agent. Previously we would always
include the whole file, which can easily blow the context window on huge
files.

Release Notes:

- When `@mention`ing large files, the Agent Panel now send an outline of
the file instead of the whole thing.

This file was too big to read all at once.
Here is an outline of its symbols:

Using the line numbers in this outline, you can call this tool again
while specifying the start_line and end_line fields to see the
implementations of symbols in the outline.
Alternatively, you can fall back to the `grep` tool (if available)
