Charlie Doern b1851dc9ef feat: add reasoning and reasoning_content fields to OpenAI message types
Add support for reasoning fields in OpenAI-compatible chat completion
messages to enable compatibility with vLLM reasoning parsers.

Changes:
- Add `reasoning_content` and `reasoning` fields to OpenAIAssistantMessageParam
- Add `reasoning` field to OpenAIChoiceDelta (reasoning_content already existed)

Both field names are supported for maximum compatibility:
- `reasoning_content`: Used by vLLM ≤ v0.8.4
- `reasoning`: New field name in vLLM ≥ v0.9.x

vLLM documentation recommends migrating to the shorter `reasoning` field
name, but maintains backward compatibility with `reasoning_content`.

These fields allow reasoning models to return their chain-of-thought
process alongside the final answer, which is crucial for transparency
and debugging with reasoning models.
