fix: Return HTTP 400 for OpenAI API validation errors (#2002)
# What does this PR do?

When clients called the Open AI API with invalid input that wasn't
caught by our own Pydantic API validation but instead only caught by the
backend inference provider, that backend inference provider was
returning a HTTP 400 error. However, we were wrapping that into a HTTP
500 error, obfuscating the actual issue from calling clients and
triggering OpenAI client retry logic.

This change adjusts our existing `translate_exception` method in
`server.py` to wrap `openai.BadRequestError` as HTTP 400 errors, passing
through the string representation of the error message to the calling
user so they can see the actual input validation error and correct it. I
tried changing this in a few other places, but ultimately
`translate_exception` was the only real place to handle this for both
streaming and non-streaming requests across all inference providers that
use the OpenAI server APIs.

This also tightens up our validation a bit for the OpenAI chat
completions API, to catch empty `messages` parameters, invalid
`tool_choice` parameters, invalid `tools` items, or passing
`tool_choice` when `tools` isn't given.

Lastly, this extends our OpenAI API chat completions verifications to
also check for consistent input validation across providers. Providers
behind Llama Stack should automatically pass all the new tests due to
the input validation added here, but some of the providers fail this
test when not run behind Llama Stack due to differences in how they
handle input validation and errors.

(Closes #1951)

## Test Plan

To test this, start an OpenAI API  verification stack:

```
llama stack run --image-type venv tests/verifications/openai-api-verification-run.yaml
```

Then, run the new verification tests with your provider(s) of choice:

```
python -m pytest -s -v \
  tests/verifications/openai_api/test_chat_completion.py \
  --provider openai-llama-stack

python -m pytest -s -v \
  tests/verifications/openai_api/test_chat_completion.py \
  --provider together-llama-stack
```
