feat: Add synthetic-data-kit for file_search doc conversion

This adds a `builtin::document_conversion` tool for converting
documents when used with file_search that uses
meta-llama/synthetic-data-kit. I also have another local
implementation that uses Docling, but need to debug some segfault
issues I'm hitting locally with that so pushing this first as a
simpler reference implementation.

Long-term I think we'll want a remote implemention here as well - like
perhaps docling-serve or unstructured.io - but need to look more into
that.

This passes the existing
`tests/verifications/openai_api/test_responses.py` but doesn't yet add
any new tests for file types besides text and pdf.
