refactor(client): remove initialize() Method from LlamaStackAsLibrary

Currently client.initialize() had to be invoked by user.
To improve dev experience and to avoid runtime errors, this PR init LlamaStackAsLibrary implicitly upon using the client.
It prevents also multiple init of the same client, while maintaining backward ccompatibility.
