fix(serply): report a format error for results with no usable objects (#6796)
`web_search_tool` skipped non-object entries but returned the filtered list
even when it was empty, so a non-empty `results`/`entries`/`articles`
container holding no objects fell through to "No results found". That tells
the agent the query legitimately matched nothing instead of surfacing the
malformed payload -- the failure mode the sibling providers already contain
(brave #6550, groundroute #6603, tavily #6645, sofya #6719): a 200 body
wrapped around an upstream error page ends a research loop as "no hits".

Extract `_response_rows`, which treats a missing or null container as an
empty search and a container that is not a list, or a non-empty list holding
no objects, as the provider's format error, keeping non-object entries
skipped in order so valid rows survive. Both call sites (all three verticals
share one helper) now return the existing structured error.

RED/GREEN: the 7 new cases fail on main with "No results found" and pass
with the fix; test_serply_tools.py 34 passed, the five provider suites
(serply/serper/tavily/sofya/tencent_wsa) 284 passed, ruff check and format
clean.
