tools_reasoning.rs panics if the model answers with just a tool call without reasoning #992

Description

cargo run --release --example tools_reasoning -- --continous hf-model mistralai/Ministral-3-3B-Reasoning-2512-GGUF Ministral-3-3B-Reasoning-2512-Q4_K_M.gguf

thread 'main' (142586) panicked at llama-cpp-2/../examples/tools_reasoning.rs:459:18:
Failed to apply follow-up chat template: FfiError(-3)

The reason is a "reasoning_content":null in the conversation history which causes an exception from

wrapper_oai.cpp:378:        inputs.messages = common_chat_msgs_parse_oaicompat(json::parse(params->messages));

This might be one solution:
