feat: Add 'Generate Tests' feature

This commit introduces a new feature allowing you to generate unit tests for specific code symbols (functions, methods, etc.) using an LLM.

Key components of this feature include:

1.  **`generateTestsTool.ts`**: A new capability in `src/core/tools/` that:
    *   Takes a file path and symbol name as input.
    *   Uses an enhanced tree-sitter service (`extractSymbolCode`) to precisely extract the source code of the specified symbol.
    *   Constructs a detailed prompt for the configured LLM, including the symbol's code and language-specific hints (e.g., for Jest, PyTest).
    *   Calls the LLM and streams the response.
    *   Returns the generated test code.

2.  **VS Code Command (`roo-cline.generateTests`)**:
    *   Registered in `src/activate/registerCommands.ts` and `package.json`.
    *   Accessible via the command palette as "Roo: Generate Tests for Symbol".
    *   Prompts you for a file path and symbol name.
    *   Initiates a new Roo Code task, instructing me to use my test generation capability with the provided parameters.

3.  **Tree-sitter Enhancements (`src/services/tree-sitter/index.ts`)**:
    *   Refactored to provide structured `SymbolDefinition` objects, including the full source code of symbols.
    *   Added `extractSymbolCode(filePath, symbolName)` for direct retrieval of a symbol's code.

4.  **Capability Registration**:
    *   My test generation capability is registered in the tool dispatcher (`src/core/assistant-message/presentAssistantMessage.ts`), allowing me to be invoked by the Roo Code task system.

5.  **User Experience**:
    *   Generated tests are displayed in the Roo Code chat interface.

6.  **Error Handling**:
    *   I've included error handling for missing parameters, file/symbol not found, LLM API errors, and empty responses.

7.  **Documentation & Testing**:
    *   Developer-focused documentation (JSDoc, inline comments) has been added.
    *   A comprehensive suite of unit tests (`generateTestsTool.test.ts`) has been created to ensure the tool's reliability.
