## Title

    [openai-agents / OpenRouter] OpenRouterResponses injects additionalProperties:false into schemas for non-OpenAI providers

## Body

    ## Observed symptom
    [Bug] OpenRouterResponses injects additionalProperties: false into schemas for non-OpenAI providers (xAI/Grok rejects with 400)
    
    Copied from https://github.com/agno-agi/agno/issues/7455
    
    ### Description
    
    When using `OpenRouterResponses` with `x-ai/grok-4.20`, all requests with `output_schema` (structured output) are rejected by the xAI provider with HTTP 400:
    
    ```
    Schema validation failed: [standard_violation] /properties/properties/additionalProperties:
    property schema 'false' is not supported
    ```
    
    The root cause is that `OpenRouterResponses` inherits from `OpenAIResponses`, which unconditionally sanitizes JSON schemas to comply with OpenAI's structured output spec — specifically injecting `additionalProperties: false` into all object-type schemas. xAI does not support this schema property.
    
    Setting `strict_output=False` does **not** prevent this — it only controls the `format.strict` flag in the API request, not t

    ```
    Schema validation failed: [standard_violation] /properties/properties/additionalProperties:

    The root cause is that `OpenRouterResponses` inherits from `OpenAIResponses`, which unconditionally sanitizes JSON schemas to comply with OpenAI's structured output spec — specifically injecting `additionalProperties: false` into all object-type schemas. xAI does not support this schema property.
    
    Setting `strict_output=False` does **not** prevent this — it only controls the `format.strict` flag in the API request, not the schema content itself.
    
    ### Steps to Reproduce
    
    ```python
    from agno.agent import Agent
    from agno.models.openrouter import OpenRouterResponses
    from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
    
    class MyDecision(BaseModel):
        action: str = Field(min_length=1)
        reason: str = Field(min_length=1)
    
    agent = Agent(
        model=OpenRouterResponses(
            id="x-ai/grok-4.20",
            strict_output=False,  # does not help
        ),
        output_schema=MyDecision,
        use_json_mode=False,
    )
    
    agent.print_response("What should I do today?")
    # → HTTP 400: additionalProperties: property schema 'false' is not supported
    ```
    
    ### Agent Configuration (if applicable)
    
    Any agent using `OpenRouterResponses` with a non-Open
