Subject: [PATCH] fix(gemini): forward seed to the Gemini API instead of
 rejecting it (#43197)

* fix(gemini): forward seed to the Gemini API instead of rejecting it

The gemini/ provider left seed out of its supported params, so requests with seed
failed with UnsupportedParamsError, or lost the seed silently when drop_params was on.
The Gemini API accepts generationConfig.seed and the inherited mapping already
translates it, so adding it to the allowlist is enough

* test(gemini): assert the forwarded seed without mutating shared state
