feat(langchain): add context_schema support to init_chat_model

[saheersk]

Add support for configuring init_chat_model through context_schema,
aligning with LangGraph v0.6+ recommendations for static runtime context.

• Add context_schema parameter to init_chat_model function
• Modify _ConfigurableModel to extract parameters from runtime context
• Support both dict and object context formats
• Maintain backward compatibility with existing configurable approach
• Add comprehensive tests for new functionality
• Update documentation with usage examples

Fixes #32954

Description: Add support for configuring init_chat_model through context_schema, aligning with LangGraph v0.6+ recommendations for static runtime context. This addresses the configuration inconsistency where model parameters had to be passed via
config["configurable"] while other static runtime context used context_schema, making project configuration management more complex.

The implementation adds a context_schema parameter to init_chat_model that allows model parameters (model, temperature, max_tokens, etc.) to be passed via runtime context instead of the configurable pattern. This enables unified configuration management where
all static runtime context can be managed consistently in one place.

Key Changes:

• Added context_schema parameter to init_chat_model function signature
• Modified _ConfigurableModel class to extract parameters from runtime context in addition to configurable fields
• Support for both dictionary and object context formats
• Full backward compatibility with existing configurable approach
• Comprehensive test suite covering all usage scenarios
• Updated documentation with usage examples and version notes

Issue: Fixes #32954

Dependencies: None - this change uses existing dependencies and maintains backward compatibility
