docs(portal): describe per-model routing accurately — not everything goes through OpenRouter

The Nous Portal docs claimed routing 'happens through OpenRouter under
the hood' with OpenRouter-equivalent failover, and that the catalog
'mirrors OpenRouter's model list'. That is not the Portal's contract:
some models route through OpenRouter, others through proprietary or
secondary providers, and per-model routing can change over time.

The stale wording licensed users to expect OpenRouter-proprietary
request extensions (top-level cache_control, session_id sticky
routing, provider preferences) to work through the Portal, producing
misfiled bug reports like #71576. Reworded both pages (en + zh-Hans)
and added an explicit note that OpenRouter-specific extensions are not
part of the Portal API contract.

Routing happens through OpenRouter under the hood, so model availability and failover behavior matches what you'd get with an OpenRouter key — just billed against your Nous subscription instead. Switch between Claude Sonnet 4.6 for code and Gemini 3 Pro for long context with `/model` mid-session — no new credentials, no top-ups, no surprise zero-balance errors.
Under the hood, the Portal routes each model to the backend best suited for it — some models go through OpenRouter, others through proprietary or secondary providers, and the routing for a given model can change over time. Everything is billed against your Nous subscription either way.

:::note
Because routing is per-model and not always through OpenRouter, OpenRouter-specific request extensions (such as `provider` routing preferences, `session_id` sticky routing, or top-level `cache_control`) are not part of the Portal's API contract and may be ignored depending on which backend serves the model.
