Gemini CLI now surfaces InvalidStreamError details and suggests /compress

What changed
This PR propagates InvalidStreamError details from Gemini CLI’s core layers up to the UI, so the terminal can show more specific troubleshooting guidance instead of a generic failure.
Key behavior
- The core Turn / geminiChat flow now carries the error type and message in ServerGeminiInvalidStreamEvent payloads.
- The UI hook useGeminiStream checks for NORESPONSETEXT and shows a friendly suggestion to run /compress.
- Other invalid-stream cases fall back to the raw error message.
Validation
The author updated unit tests across core and CLI packages, including event translator, turn logic, non-interactive CLI behavior, and the mid-conversation retry flow when empty text responses occur.
