Changes

Please describe the changes proposed in this pull request

This PR fixes a bug where the client_response_type option was incorrectly sent to the Vertex AI API, causing a 400 "Invalid JSON payload" error.

Specifically:

• Added client_response_type to UnresolvedVertex and ResolvedVertex structs.
• Modified UnresolvedVertex::create_from to consume client_response_type from the client properties, preventing it from being included in the API request body.
• Implemented a get_response_type method in VertexClient to correctly determine the response parsing strategy:
  1. Prioritizes an explicitly set client_response_type.
  2. Falls back to ResponseType::Anthropic if anthropic_version is configured.
  3. Defaults to ResponseType::Vertex.
• Updated chat() and stream_chat() methods in VertexClient to use this new get_response_type method.

Testing

Please describe how you tested these changes

• Unit tests added/updated
• Manual testing performed (verified the fix addresses the 400 error and allows client_response_type: "openai" to parse responses from Vertex AI models like gpt-oss-120b-maas)
• Tested in [environment]
