Fix HeadroomAgnoModel to optimize tool outputs at invoke level

Previously, HeadroomAgnoModel called wrapped_model.response() which ran the
tool execution loop internally. This meant tool outputs (often 60k+ chars)
were never optimized - only the initial messages were compressed.

The fix delegates response() to the inherited Model.response(), which calls
self.invoke() for each API call. Our invoke() override optimizes messages
before delegating to wrapped_model.invoke(), ensuring tool outputs are
compressed on every API request.

Results from multi_tool_agent_test.py with Claude Sonnet:
- Tokens before optimization: 25,713
- Tokens after optimization: 6,100
- Tokens saved: 19,613 (76.3%)
- Both baseline and optimized found all critical information

Also adds:
- multi_tool_agent_test.py: Real function calling test with 4 tools
- multi_tool_compression_test.py: Direct compression test
- README update with multi-tool agent test results

+## Multi-Tool Agent Test: Real Function Calling
+
+**The setup:** An Agno agent with 4 tools (GitHub Issues, ArXiv Papers, Code Search, Database Logs) investigating a memory leak. Total tool output: 62,323 chars (~15,580 tokens).
+
+```python
+from agno.agent import Agent
+from agno.models.anthropic import Claude
+from headroom.integrations.agno import HeadroomAgnoModel
+
+# Wrap your model - that's it!
+base_model = Claude(id="claude-sonnet-4-20250514")
+model = HeadroomAgnoModel(wrapped_model=base_model)
+
+agent = Agent(model=model, tools=[search_github, search_arxiv, search_code, query_db])
+response = agent.run("Investigate the memory leak and recommend a fix")
+```
+
+**Results with Claude Sonnet:**
+
+|  | Baseline | Headroom |
+|--|----------|----------|
+| Tokens sent to API | 15,662 | 6,100 |
+| API requests | 2 | 2 |
+| Tool calls | 4 | 4 |
+| Duration | 26.5s | 27.0s |
+
+**76.3% fewer tokens. Same comprehensive answer.**
+
+Both found: Issue #42 (memory leak), the `cleanup_worker()` fix, OutOfMemoryError logs (7.8GB/8GB, 847 threads), and relevant research papers.

 ## How It Works
 
 Headroom doesn't summarize or truncate blindly. It uses **statistical analysis**:
