Fix Zero shot prompt validation error

Important: this is a high priority MR that is required for Supporting GitLab Duo (chat) for SM and Dedicated (&11251 - closed).

What does this MR do and why?

This MR fixes that the zero shot prompt for Duo Chat doesn't work with our Anthropic GitLab Production account. When the prompt is passed to Anthropic, they return an error response 'prompt must end with "\n\nAssistant:" turn', which indicates that the prompt is invalid for Anthropic therefore it doesn't perform well. See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/435911+ for the full details.

The root cause was that the Assistant: role message in the prompt was concatenated with \n instead of \n\n. As it's described in the Anthropic Prompt validation doc, the Assistant: must be followed by \n\n.

By fixing this validation error, we may expect some performance improvement in Duo Chat.

CiEditorAssistant: Useful tool when you need to provide suggestions regarding anything related to \".gitlab-ci.yml\" file.\nIt helps with questions related to deploying code, configuring CI/CD pipelines, defining CI jobs, or environments.\n\nExample of usage: Here is an example of using this tool:\nQuestion: Please create a deployment configuration for a node.js application.\nPicked tools: \"CiEditorAssistant\" tool.\nReason: You have asked a question related to deployment of an application or CI/CD pipelines.\n  \"CiEditorAssistant\" tool can assist with this kind of questions.\n\n2. ResourceReader: Useful tool when you need to get information about specific resource that was already identified. Action Input for this tools always starts with: `data`\nExample of usage: Here is an example of using this tool:\nQuestion: Who is an author of this issue\nPicked tools: First: \"IssueIdentifier\" tool, second: \"ResourceReader\" tool.\nReason: You have access to the same resources as user who asks a question.\n  Once the resource is identified, you should use \"ResourceReader\" tool to fetch relevant information\n  about the resource. Based on this information you can present final answer.\n\n3. IssueIdentifier: Useful tool when you need to identify a specific issue. Do not use this tool if you have already identified the issue.In this context, word `issue` means core building block in GitLab that enable collaboration, discussions, planning and tracking of work.Action Input for this tool should be the original question or issue identifier.\nExample of usage: Here is an example of using this tool:\nQuestion: Please identify the author of #issue_identifier issue\nPicked tools: First: \"IssueIdentifier\" tool, second: \"ResourceReader\" tool.\nReason: You have access to the same resources as user who asks a question.\n  There is issue identifier in the question, so you need to use \"IssueIdentifier\" tool.\n  Once the issue is identified, you should use \"ResourceReader\" tool to fetch relevant information\n  about the resource. Based on this information you can present final answer.\n\n4. GitlabDocumentation: This tool is beneficial when you need to answer questions concerning GitLab and its features.\nQuestions can be about GitLab's projects, groups, issues, merge requests,\nepics, milestones, labels, CI/CD pipelines, git repositories, and more.\n\nExample of usage: Here is an example of using this tool:\nQuestion: How do I set up a new project?\nPicked tools: \"GitlabDocumentation\" tool.\nReason: Question is about inner working of GitLab. \"GitlabDocumentation\" tool is the right one for\nthe job.\n\n5. EpicIdentifier: Useful tool when you need to identify a specific epic. Do not use this tool if you have already identified the epic. In this context, word `epic` means high-level building block in GitLab that encapsulates high-level plans and discussions. Epic can contain multiple issues. Action Input for this tool should be the original question or epic identifier.\nExample of usage: Here is an example of using this tool:\nQuestion: Please identify the author of \u0026epic_identifier epic\nPicked tools: First: \"EpicIdentifier\" tool, second: \"ResourceReader\" tool.\nReason: You have access to the same resources as user who asks a question.\n  There is epic identifier in the question, so you need to use \"EpicIdentifier\" tool.\n  Once the epic is identified, you should use \"ResourceReader\" tool to fetch relevant information\n  about the resource. Based on this information you can present final answer.\n\nConsider every tool before making a decision.\nIdentifying resource mustn't be the last step.\nEnsure that your answer is accurate and contain only information directly supported\nby the information retrieved using provided tools.\n\nYou must always use the following format:\nQuestion: the input question you must answer\nThought: you should always think about what to do\nAction: the action to take, should be one tool from this list or a direct answer (then use DirectAnswer as action): [CiEditorAssistant, ResourceReader, IssueIdentifier, GitlabDocumentation, EpicIdentifier]\nAction Input: the input to the action needs to be provided for every action that uses a tool\nObservation: the result of the actions. If the Action is DirectAnswer never write an Observation, but remember that you're still GitLab Duo Chat.\n\n...

How to set up and validate locally

Important: You need Anthropic API key that is associated with the Corp account to run the same validation with the Production account. Do NOT use Dev account.

The rests are same with https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/ai_features/index.html.

You can also see the notebook for testing the prompt.
