OSL Get Efo ID By Disease Name

Legacy helper to find an EFO term ID from a disease name using EMBL-EBI OLS search. Returns the best match as `{efo_id, name}` (or `null` if none). Note: the tool name contains a legacy typo (`OSL_` vs `OLS_`). If you need richer ontology data (IRI, synonyms, children), use the newer `ols_*` tools in `efo_tools.json`.
