API 400 errors about an invalid tool input schema now get their own error type instead of being generic

What

When Claude Code calls the API and gets back a 400 error whose message references tools.*.input_schema (or the custom-tool variant tools.*.custom.input_schema), it's now recognized and labeled as a tool_schema_invalid error, rather than being treated as a generic, unclassified 400 error.

Why

Giving this specific error its own classification makes it easier to identify that a tool's input schema is the actual problem, rather than having to dig through a generic error message to figure out what went wrong.
