Aider v0.61.0: save and replay chat context with /save and /load

Adds /save and /load to write the current file context out as a file of slash-commands and replay it later, plus --load to run commands at launch. Also introduces anonymous opt-in analytics and several input and error-handling changes.

  • /save <fname> writes a file of /add and /read-only commands that recreate the current chat file context; /load <fname> replays them
  • /load can replay any set of slash-commands, not only /add and /read-only
  • --load <fname> runs a command list at launch before the interactive chat starts
  • Anonymous, opt-in analytics with no personal data sharing
  • Image support now follows litellm's supports_vision attribute
  • New --no-fancy-input disables prompt-toolkit input (previously tied to --no-pretty)
  • --no-browser / --no-gui override browser config
  • Offers to open documentation URLs on errors
  • All o1 models supported regardless of provider
  • Fixes: diff mode handling a wrong filename from the model, sorted filename display, corrupted repomap tags cache, API error handling for the weak model
