feat: add thinking/reasoning data support to LiteLLM provider

- Handle reasoning, thinking, and reasoning_content fields in streaming responses
- Pass through thinking data from underlying models as reasoning chunks
- Add comprehensive test coverage for all thinking data scenarios
- Fix handling of chunks without choices array

Fixes #8497
