Switch to LiteLLM Responses API; default gpt-5 and --fast gpt-5-nano with high reasoning

Summary

This PR implements the requested model updates and API migration for Emplode:

• Model Updates: Changed default model from gpt-4o to gpt-5, and fast mode (--fast) from gpt-4o-mini to gpt-5-nano
• API Migration: Replaced litellm.completion() calls with litellm.responses() API
• Reasoning Effort: Added reasoning={"effort": "high"} parameter for both models
• Documentation: Updated README, CLI help text, and user-facing prompts to reflect new defaults

The migration preserves Azure OpenAI and custom API base compatibility while adapting the streaming response format to work with existing message/code block handling logic.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

⚠️ CRITICAL - This PR contains significant API changes that require thorough testing:

• Test basic chat functionality with default gpt-5 model (verify responses stream naturally)
• Test fast mode with emplode --fast using gpt-5-nano
• Verify code execution still works - this is the core feature and function calling API changed from functions= to tools= parameter
• Test streaming behavior feels natural - the custom event-to-chunk adapter logic could introduce choppy streaming or missing text
• Azure users should test compatibility if using Azure OpenAI deployments

Notes

• Code Quality Warning: The diff shows duplicate response handling logic that suggests incomplete refactoring - this should be cleaned up
• Untested Migration: This API change was not tested end-to-end with real OpenAI keys due to environment limitations
• Function Schema Change: Changed from functions=[...] to tools=[...] parameter which could impact function calling reliability
