fix: prevent tool name concatenation in consecutive tool calls to fix #523 (#654)

- Implement index-based grouping of tool call chunks in _process_tool_call_chunks()
- Add _validate_tool_call_chunks() for debug logging and validation
- Enhance _process_message_chunk() with tool call ID validation and boundary detection
- Add comprehensive unit tests (17 tests) for tool call chunk processing
- Fix issue where tool names were incorrectly concatenated (e.g., 'web_searchweb_search')
- Ensure chunks from different tool calls (different indices) remain properly separated
- Add detailed logging for debugging tool call streaming issues

* update the code with suggestions of reviewing
