Pull request: server : (webui) rename has_multimodal --> modalities

On second thought, `/props` should return a list of supported modalities instead of a single `has_multimodal`. There is a high chance we will support audio input in the near future

This will also requires updating `/props` handler in https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/12898
