feat: split photo-import into vision recognition + text generation

The photo-import flow used one vision-capable model to both read the
photo and structure the full recipe (quantities, steps, timing) in a
single call. Split it into two: a vision model recognizes what's in
the picture, then a text model reconstructs the recipe from that
description — same pattern the pantry photo-scan already uses for
recognition, and lets structuring use whichever model is actually
configured for text generation. Still counts as one AI-quota unit.
