`llm-anthropic` `0.25.1` adds `Claude Opus 4.8` and fast mode

Output caps now default to each model's real maximum, not 8,192. Useful for long generations through llm; fast mode only matters if your Anthropic org has access.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Adds claude-opus-4.8, so the llm CLI can call Anthropic's newest Opus model without custom aliases.
  2. New -o fast 1 flag exposes Anthropic fast mode, but only enabled organizations can use it.
  3. Default max_tokens now follows each model's maximum output instead of fixed 8,192, reducing silent truncation risk.
