fix: remove AirLLM config settings from config.py

Remove `airllm` from timmy_model_backend Literal type and delete the
airllm_model_size field plus associated comments. Replace the one
settings.airllm_model_size reference in agent.py with a hardcoded
default, and clean up mock assignments in tests.

Fixes #473
