coding-assistants: simplify attribution

The requirement to identify specific models used in the Assisted-by tag
provides free advertising to proprietary software companies while adding
little or no useful information.  Change the requirement to simply:

  Assisted-by: LLM

to capture the fact that an LLM was used without tracking which one.

Where:
* ``AGENT_NAME`` is the name of the AI tool or framework
* ``MODEL_VERSION`` is the specific model version used
* ``[TOOL1] [TOOL2]`` are optional specialized analysis tools used
