Aider v0.58.0: Architect/Editor model pairing

Introduces splitting a task across two models — a strong reasoning model as Architect and a cheaper, faster model as Editor — with o1-preview and gpt-4o given as the example pairing. Also adds --o1-preview/--o1-mini shortcuts, Gemini 002 and better Qwen 2.5 support, and renames /clipboard to /paste.
