Initial image support

Fix image structure for OpenAI API

Implement base64 image support for OpenAI

Image Support: Some APIs (Gemini) require mime type for URL and Base64 format

Image Support: Update OpenAI and Anthropic API to support new image structure

Image Support: Add Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental support and implement Image support

Image Support: Create example with Image support

Image Support: Fix rebase issue

Image Support: Fix example and make it runnable from cargo
