fix: testgen prompt improvements (#2474)

## Summary

- Add multiline string literal constraint to testgen and repair prompts
— LLM was consistently generating unterminated string literals by
splitting strings across lines without triple quotes
- Deduplicate anthropic/markdown branches in testgen prompt templates —
single flow with inline `{% if is_xml %}` wrappers instead of duplicated
content

## Test plan

- [x] Verified templates render correctly for both anthropic and openai
model types (sync and async)
- [x] All block overrides from child templates work with the unified
block names

{% block md_categories %}
Then write tests organized into three categories:
**Basic tests** — Verify fundamental functionality under normal conditions with typical inputs.
**Edge tests** — Evaluate behavior under extreme or unusual conditions: empty inputs, boundary values, special characters, None values, type edge cases.
**Large-scale tests** — Assess performance and scalability. Use data structures up to 1000 elements and loops up to 1000 iterations.
{% endblock %}
## Test Quality Criteria
- Tests should be diverse — cover a wide range of inputs and scenarios
- Tests must be deterministic — always pass or fail the same way
- Sort tests by difficulty, from easiest to hardest
- Always construct real instances using the actual class constructors with real arguments. Import real classes from their actual modules. Do not use Mock, MagicMock, {% block md_mock_extras %}{% endblock %}patch, SimpleNamespace, or any fake/stub objects to create test inputs or domain objects. Real instances expose real behavior; mocks silently pass on wrong attribute access and break when optimized code changes access patterns.

- **Use conftest.py fixtures when provided** — prefer fixtures over manual instantiation. Fixtures are pre-configured and handle setup/teardown.
- **Import everything you use** — every symbol must have a corresponding import.
- **Only import what you use** — do not add unused imports.
- **Use correct import sources** — when the dependency context shows `from X import Y`, use that exact source module.
