fix: reject non-base64 document sources with a clear error

URL-type document sources (e.g. {"type": "url", "url": "..."}) would
crash with an opaque KeyError on missing 'media_type'. Guard at the top
of _process_document_message and raise a clear ValueError since Bedrock
Converse only supports base64-encoded document sources.
