Remove the feature gate for async user messages (#39452)

## What changed

- Expose `send_user_message_async` to root agents whenever the selected model advertises support for it.
- Retain `send_async_message` as a removed compatibility flag so existing configuration is accepted without controlling tool availability.
- Update the async message test to cover model-driven tool exposure without enabling the legacy flag.
