feat: add infrastructure to allow inference model discovery (#2710)

# What does this PR do?

inference providers each have a static list of supported / known models.
some also have access to a dynamic list of currently available models.
this change gives prodivers using the ModelRegistryHelper the ability to
combine their static and dynamic lists.

for instance, OpenAIInferenceAdapter can implement
```
   def query_available_models(self) -> list[str]:
      return [entry.model for entry in self.openai_client.models.list()]
```
to augment its static list w/ a current list from openai.
